The four-story income house with two domes and a columned portico, which rises to the third and fourth floors, was built in 1904 by architect S.B. Zalesky in the style of classicized eclecticism, which he particularly valued. The building features elements of an old two-story mansion integrated into the new structure. This classic Empire mansion was erected in 1824 when the lands of the old Apothecary Garden of Ivan the Terrible, which belonged to the Kremlin administration in the 18th century, were sold to private individuals. It was built by Guards Captain Alexander Stepanovich Talizin, the great-grandson of Field Marshal Stepan Fedorovich Apraksin, a hero of the Seven Years' War, and the grandson of Captain Alexander Fedorovich Talizin, who lent his Semenov uniform to Empress Catherine on the day of the coup in 1762. Alexander Stepanovich was married to the granddaughter of A.V. Suvorov, Countess Olga Nikolaevna Zubova.

In the early 20th century, the property passed to merchant Sergey Andreyevich Egorov, who built an income house here. The central part of the building, like in the Empire mansion, is highlighted by an eight-column portico with three-quarter composite order columns. Like the Talizin mansion, the new building has a three-part composition of the facade. The tripartite and symmetrical overall composition is emphasized by a massive attic in the center and two baroque-style domes on either side above the dormer windows. The building is pleasing to view in all its details, as is always the case with Zalesky. The ornate balconies look good against the rusticated wall finishes and beautiful stucco. The rhythmic arrangement of balconies of different sizes draws attention.

During the Soviet era, the house, located close to the Kremlin, was inhabited by new residents. From 1918 to 1920, the friend of V.I. Lenin, Inessa Armand, and sister Anna Ilyinichna Elizarova-Ulyanova, as well as other prominent figures of the VKP(b), lived here. The house remained residential until the 1990s. Notably, the artist Yuri Bogatyrev lived here.
