In the late 1970s, most of the buildings in the Trinity Sloboda were destroyed during the expansion of Samotyochnaya Street and the creation of Olympic Avenue. However, its historical core, including the courtyard of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra and the income house, was preserved.

Originally, this land belonged to the village of Naprudnoye, then it was settled by the Peryaslavl coachmen. In the early 17th century, ownership passed to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery, leading to the formation of the Trinity Black Sloboda. In 1631, a wooden church in honor of the Holy Trinity was built here, which was replaced by a stone temple in 1696. In the 18th century, the construction of a complex of stone buildings of the Trinity Courtyard began, with the Metropolitan Chambers at the center. In the 1760s, a two-story building of the chambers with 15 rooms and a chapel in honor of the apostles Peter and Paul was built, which was later consecrated in honor of Sergius of Radonezh after 1812.

After the Moscow metropolitans' house in the Kremlin was confiscated, the Trinity Courtyard became the main archbishop's residence in Moscow. In the 1870s, the chambers were significantly rebuilt, and the entire complex of the courtyard was given a 'neo-Russian' style, oriented towards 17th-century Moscow architecture. In 1875, an altar dedicated to the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God was added to the Sergius Church. In 1899, a large dome appeared over the temple, and a bell tower was built in the tent-like structure above the porch; monks from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra served here. The interior of the first floor partially retained its 18th-century furnishings. The courtyard expanded, and new buildings emerged. In 1915, architect A.A. Latkov built a four-story income house in the neo-Russian style with windows decorated with various ornamental elements.

After the revolution, the chambers of the Moscow metropolitans became the patriarchal residence, where Patriarch Tikhon lived until 1922. After his arrest, the buildings were occupied by the 'renovationists,' who left the territory in the 1930s. The buildings were then transferred to various offices and institutions. The income house was raised by two floors without decoration.

The western wing of the courtyard was demolished in the 1980s, but the remaining buildings have survived to this day. The historical structure of the Trinity Courtyard was disrupted due to the construction of new buildings during the Soviet era. Nevertheless, in the 1990s, the surviving buildings of the courtyard were returned to the church, and the Trinity-Sergius Lavra courtyard was reestablished here. In the 2000s, extensive restoration work was carried out, returning the chambers and the chapel of Sergius of Radonezh to their historical appearance.
