The two-story mansion in classical style was built on the site of the Prichisten police station's inn, destroyed by fire in 1812.
In the 1860s, the poet A.N. Plescheev briefly resided here.
In the late 19th century, the house was acquired by the famous Moscow entrepreneur and landlord Ivan Alexandrovich Korovkin. In 1884, he commissioned architect V.P. Zagorsky to update the facades and redesign the interior spaces. After these works, the building became an income house, where small apartments were rented out.
After the revolution, like in all of Moscow, communal apartments appeared here. One of them was home to the famous doctor M.P. Konchalovsky in the 1920s and 1930s.
This house became one of the main settings in the popular film "Pokrovsky Gates." In the courtyard facing Gogolevsky Boulevard, the film's characters played dominoes and chess, contemplated life, and dreamed.
At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the building was remodeled into a business center: a third floor was added, a balcony was constructed on the side of Gogolevsky Boulevard, the cladding was updated, and the facade was repainted.
