Income House of F.V. Yezersky

Фото 1
The income house No. 6 on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street was reconstructed in 1903 by architect Konstantin Rosenkampf from an earlier building, at a time when interest in modernism was already waning in Moscow. The facade of the house received an original design: a wavy attic was supported by oval windows on the upper floor, which were previously adorned with modern decor featuring the sinuous lines of secession. Two bay windows at the edges of the building were topped with curved roofs and wrought-iron attics.

Over time, the house lost its beauty. In the 1920s, the facade decor was removed, and the decorations around the inter-floor belts and oval windows disappeared. The modern decor was completely removed, and the bay windows were finished with simple balconies instead of elegant roofs. In the 1990s, a major reconstruction deprived the building of stylistic integrity: new elements appeared that were more related to eclecticism than to modernism, such as ordered pilasters, clear framing of oval windows, and checkered tiles instead of floral decor.

The house had an interesting owner, Fyodor Venediktovich Yezersky, a well-known Russian economist and accounting theorist. He developed the Russian system of triple accounting, contrasting it with the Western system of double accounting, and it is still actively used in management accounting today. Yezersky insisted on using Russian terms in accounting instead of foreign ones. He believed that the spread of his system was possible through mass education of the youth and created the first popular accounting courses in Russia in St. Petersburg and Moscow, admitting both women and men. The "Accounting Courses of F.V. Yezersky" were located in this house. Yezersky cared for his graduates, helped them with employment, created a professional union, the Artel of Accountants, and published the magazines "Accountant" and "Practical Life." He passed away before the revolution. His son Nikolai was a journalist, participated in the White movement, and became a priest in exile.

Currently, the building houses an office center, but it is awaiting new changes. A project has been developed and approved for the reconstruction of the building into a hotel, increasing the area to 5600 sq.m.
