A stone four-story building, erected in 1915 according to the design of the famous architect Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky, one of the creators of the first development of VDNH, was intended for wealthy residents and stood out among other constructions of that time. It is one of the few preserved historical buildings on Lower Krasnoselskaya Street. The house is designed in the neoclassical style, and some elements of its facade are adorned in the rare Romanesque-Gothic style for Moscow, such as the entrance with a heraldic composition featuring lions.

Over its more than a century-long history, the building's facades and floor plan have remained unchanged. A skylight has been preserved above the grand staircase, and the appearance of the house is defined by two symmetrical bay windows. However, the decorative elements of the interiors have been almost completely lost. Only some details of the ceiling and vestibule decor, a fragment of the wooden vestibule of the main entrance, and the Mettlach tiles of the stair landings have been preserved.

Each floor of the building had two apartments, and the first floor housed the main and service staircases. Until the end of the 2000s, the Burenin house remained residential.
