One of the houses on Bryusov Lane, adorned with stucco and a coat of arms, is part of a large building that once faced Tverskaya Street. In the early 19th century, the house belonged to the sons of Count Ivan Vasilyevich Gudovich.

Count Ivan Vasilyevich Gudovich, a general field marshal and knight of the Order of Saint Andrew, gained fame in the Russo-Turkish wars. He held the positions of governor of Ryazan and Tambov provinces, as well as governor of Kyiv and Podolia. In 1809, he was appointed military governor of Moscow. In 1810, he acquired an estate near the official residence on Tverskaya Street, where the Moscow City Hall is now located.

Since the 17th century, the plot belonged to the Tyufyakin princes, and from 1754 to 1810, to the officers of the guard regiments, the Kiselevs.

Ivan Vasilyevich was married to Praskovya Kirillovna Razumovskaya, the daughter of the last hetman of Ukraine, and received a rich dowry. They had two sons, Kirill and Andrey, both of whom rose to the rank of major general. Andrey, distinguished in the battles of Austerlitz and Shevardino, later became the chief equerry of the Imperial Court and led the Moscow nobility for over 10 years. Their daughter Elizabeth married Colonel Ivan Lizogub.

After the count's death in 1820, the house on the corner of Tverskaya Street was divided between his sons, Andrey and Kirill, and each half of the house began to live its own life.

In 1826 and 1829, E. F. Muravyova, the mother of the Decembrists Nikita and Alexander Muravyov, rented an apartment in the house. Friends and relatives of the Decembrists gathered here to exchange news about the exiles.

From 1847 to 1849, writer Alexander Vasilyevich Sukhov-Kobylin lived in Andrey Gudovich's half of the house. He occupied one apartment, while his beloved Louise Simon-Demans occupied another. In 1850, a murder of Louise occurred in the house, becoming an important event in Sukhov-Kobylin's life.

In the 1870s, part of the house passed to merchant Andreev, and the Gudovich house was acquired by staff rotmistr Andrey Mikhailovich Miklashevsky. In 1898, according to the project of architect S.K. Rodionov, the house was renovated, and the coat of arms of the Miklashevsky family with the motto "IN DEO SPES MEA" and the initials of Andrey Mikhailovich appeared on the facade.

In 1900, the house was inherited by Miklashevsky's daughter, Countess A. A. Olsufyeva. In the 1910s, it housed the apartment and workshop of M.A. Pilikhin, the uncle of G.K. Zhukov. Later, the house had furnished rooms, the "Minion" cinema, and drinking establishments.

In the late 1930s, due to the expansion of Tverskaya Street, part of the house was demolished, and the remaining part was moved deeper into Bryusov Lane. Only the half belonging to Andrey Gudovich was preserved, while Kirill's ownership was lost.

During the Soviet era, the house housed the State Committee of the USSR for Science and Technology. Now it is home to the Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation.
