The five-story residential income house with shops on the first two floors was built on a plot owned by the "A. Bahrushin Sons" partnership, designed by architect Karl Gippius in 1900-1901.

Karl Gippius, a well-known Moscow architect, often worked with the Bahrushin family, creating buildings for them in various styles, including Art Nouveau. This income house features elements of French Art Nouveau. The facade is adorned with bright and intricate decor, making it one of the characteristic examples of Moscow modernism. The metal railings of the balconies stand out, resembling thin stems with flowers. On the sides of the facade are two bay windows supported by columns with capitals in the form of female masks with flowing hair. A balcony runs along the fourth floor, with brackets shaped like laurel leaves, which also support the canopy at the center of the building. This building is considered the most richly decorated among Gippius's works.

The Bahrushins were merchants from Kasimov. The founder of the family, Alexei Fyodorovich Bahrushin, came to Moscow with his family from Zaraysk. They initially settled in Taganka and then established a large leather production in the Kozhevnicheskaya Sloboda, where they owned factories and workshops. They produced various types of leather and had a glue factory.

After the death of Alexei Fyodorovich, the brothers decided not to divide the business, not to take loans, and to direct part of the profits to charity. In Moscow, they were called "professional philanthropists." They built and maintained a Widow's House on Sofiyskaya Embankment, a hospital on Stromynka, and a children's shelter. They also established scholarships for students and supported various charitable organizations.

With the funds of A.A. Bahrushin, the Vvedensky People's House was built on Vvedenskaya Square. From 1882 to 1917, they spent about 6 million rubles on charity.

Many Bahrushins were known collectors. Alexei Alexandrovich Bahrushin created a theatrical museum, which was transferred to the Imperial Academy of Sciences. His cousin Alexei Petrovich Bahrushin was a well-known collector of ancient books, which were donated to the Historical Museum after his death.

Behind the income house on Tverskaya, Gippius built a complex of four income houses for the "A. Bahrushin Sons" partnership on Kozitsky Lane.
