Income House, Architect R.I. Klein

Currently, the site includes two properties that are monuments of history and culture in Moscow: the house of D.N. Sverbeyev at Strastnoy Boulevard, 6, and the income house of doctor L.E. Adelgeim at Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street, 23. Historically, these areas constituted a single plot, which was divided in the mid-1880s when an income house was built on the site of the garden in the southern part.

The site has been known since the 18th century, and after the Patriotic War of 1812, its most famous owner became the widow of Field Marshal M.F. Kamensky. The main house of the estate, the modern building at Strastnoy Boulevard, 6, is an elongated two-story structure along the boulevard, which was raised by three floors in the 1930s. In 1830, the estate's owner, retired diplomat D.N. Sverbeyev, organized a salon here that was attended by A.S. Pushkin, V.A. Zhukovsky, and M.N. Yazykov.

In 1845, the estate was occupied by the "Drawing School in Relation to Arts and Crafts," founded by Count S.G. Stroganov and transferred to the state in 1843 (Stroganov Artistic and Industrial School). By the time of the move to the former Sverbeyev estate, reconstruction had been carried out, which is recalled by the "Renaissance window frames."

In the mid-1880s, a major campaign for the construction of new educational complexes began in Moscow, during which the Stroganov School moved to Rozhdestvenka, and the southern part of the property was sold to doctor L.E. Adelgeim. By his order, a four-story income house was built according to the design of R.I. Klein, who had recently returned from a study trip to Italy and France. The bay window at the corner of Strastnoy Boulevard and Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street had a four-sided dome, which was lost during the building's extension in the 1930s.

From 1919 to 1938, the main house of the estate housed a club for Latvian political émigrés with the theater "Skatuvé," which emerged as a result of significant Latvian emigration to Moscow during World War I. The theater was closed on December 27, 1937, and all actors were accused of espionage in favor of bourgeois Latvia. On February 3, 1938, the theater's artists were shot at the Butovo firing range.

The building is undergoing maintenance repairs, as well as separate works for adaptation to modern use.
