The Begichev estate, located at 4 Staro-Konyushenny Lane, is a monument of regional architectural significance. Currently, this building houses the representation of the Vologda region under the President and Government of the Russian Federation.

The estate has preserved its historical boundaries, established in the first half of the 18th century, as well as the intra-block boundaries of the 18th and mid-19th centuries. Until the end of the 18th century, the property belonged to the Kozhins family, including the district leader of the nobility of Kashin, and consisted of the main U-shaped house and wings facing Khrushchevsky Lane. A garden was located towards Staro-Konyushenny Lane. In 1801, the property was purchased by Premier Major P. A. Olsufyev, and in 1809, he sold it to court adviser M. A. Yagodina.

In 1810, the estate was acquired by A. V. Davydova-Begicheva, the daughter of state councilor V. D. Davydov and sister of poet D. Davydov. She was married to D. N. Begichev, a participant in the wars against Napoleon. The Begichevs began construction of a residential house in 1810, but it burned down in the fire of 1812. After that, they redirected the estate towards Staro-Konyushenny Lane, where in 1817 they erected a wooden main house on a stone foundation with mezzanines, as well as a wing and a stone barn. The outbuildings and garden faced Khrushchevsky Lane.

From 1819, D. N. Begichev retired and engaged in literary and editorial activities. His home became the center for publishing the almanac "Mnemosyne." Friends of the hosts gathered here, such as Prince V. F. Odoevsky and V. K. Kyukhelbeker. In the living room, poems by D. Davydov and A. S. Griboedov were read, and music by Verstovsky and Alyabyev was played. A. S. Griboedov stayed in these walls when traveling from the Caucasus to St. Petersburg on Decembrist business.

In 1832, Begichev anonymously published his novel "The Holms Family," which was popular in the 1830s. In 1839, the estate was purchased by the merchant V. K. Mikisheva from Suzdal, who completed the main house. In 1854, the estate passed to N. V. Beklemisheva, the aunt of K. S. Alexeev-Stanislavsky. Her husband, Colonel A. I. Beklemishev, added a two-story house and a high fire wall in 1868. After his death in 1873, the estate passed to his niece A. P. Beklemisheva.

In 1898, the estate was acquired by the widow of state councilor A. I. Gunst. Her son A. O. Gunst was a well-known architect, and his brother E. O. Gunst was a lawyer and composer. They began major construction works, erecting a rental house and a dairy shop for the family farm. The estate was vibrant with creative life, hosting famous artists and musicians. In 1913, the Gunst brothers opened the "Moscow Dramatic Salon."

After 1917, Anatoly Gunst became an actor at the Maly Theater, and his son Evgeny lived in the house until 1960, working on translations. In 1924, the property was occupied by a kvass factory. In the 1970s, the estate was divided into two properties. Since 1998, the building has housed the Representation of the Vologda region, and by 2003, its restoration was completed.
