In the early 19th century, a vast estate in Stoleshniki, near Bolshaya Dmitrovka (now houses No. 7 and 9), belonged to the French choreographer Jean Lamiral. He was invited to Moscow in 1806 by the Imperial Theaters' administration, where he taught at the school and headed the Moscow ballet school for some time. In 1811, Lamiral retired and opened a private dance class in his house on Stoleshniki Lane, teaching the children of aristocrats. In August 1812, before the arrival of Napoleon's army in Moscow, Lamiral was arrested on a denunciation along with other foreigners by the order of the Moscow commander F. Rostopchin and was exiled to Nizhny Novgorod. He was only allowed to return several years later and continued to live and teach in his mansion.

In the second half of the 19th century, the estate was acquired by the famous wine merchant Yegor Leve, who divided the plot, keeping property No. 7 for himself. For a long time, his famous wine shop was located here, mentioned by L. Tolstoy in the novel "Anna Karenina," where Stepan Arkadyevich discovers that the port wine and sherry were not bought from Leve and sends the coachman to correct this.

In 1903, on the site of the old house, a five-story building in the Art Nouveau style was erected according to the design of architect Adolf Erichson, featuring a luxurious facade adorned with stone and bronze. The grapevines entwining the female herms on the central risalit remind of the wine trade. On the first floor was the flagship store of the trading house "Yegor Leve," which was owned before the revolution by Olga Petrovna Leve, a hereditary honorary citizen.

During the Soviet era, there was a store of Glavvino of the USSR Ministry of Food Industry, and later a store called "Fruits-Wine." Now, wine is no longer sold here.
