Success - clear tape patched up historic Russian building (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winter palace

'historic russian building' is the definition.
(historical Russian palace)

'success clear tape patched up' is the wordplay.
'success' becomes 'win'.
'patched up' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters are repaired or patched up).
'clear'+'tape'='cleartape'
'cleartape' is an anagram of 'terpalace'.
'win'+'terpalace'='WINTER PALACE'

(Another definition for winter palace that I've seen is " imperial residence".)
