The income house was built in the late 18th century. It is assumed that at that time the territory was rented by the Moscow merchant Volchenkova. The first floor of the building housed cellars, the second floor had a shop, a tavern, a communal hut, and rooms leading to the wine cellar, while the third floor contained living quarters.

According to archival data, the Vyatka residence existed in this area since the late 17th century. However, after the capital was moved to St. Petersburg, the residence was hardly used and remained vacant for some time. In the late 18th century, when part of the land was sold and part leased, the income function began to develop here, and the house was built during this time.

For over 20 years, the house was rented by the famous photographer Pyotr Pavlov, who created numerous reports dedicated to the social and cultural life of the country, as well as a series of photographs featuring views of Moscow. His works are preserved in the Hermitage, the Historical Museum, and the MXAT Museum.

When the photographer Pavlov rented the house, there were, in addition to the photographic studio, shops, a hairdresser, workshops, wine, oil, and cheese warehouses, a pub, and a dental office.

The facades of the income house have hardly changed since the late 19th century. The vaulted ceiling of the basement floor from the late 18th century is of particular value.
