In the center of Glinischevsky Lane, a house in the style of mature classicism has stood for over two hundred years, distinguished by its strict and simple appearance with elegant decor. Recently, the building was asymmetrical: its left part burned down and was dismantled in the early 1920s. The original appearance was restored during renovations.

According to documents, in the 18th century this property belonged to Prince Alexander Cherkassky. In 1778, it was sold to Matvey Vasilyevich Dmitriev-Mamonov, the president of the Estate Collegium, who likely built the house that has survived to this day. Later, the house passed to D.A. Olsufyeva and then to French Colonel Count Ludovic de Gilly, who came from Avignon. In the summer of 1793, lists of Frenchmen renouncing the events of the Great French Revolution were published in the newspaper 'Moscow Vedomosti.' Among them were Count Gilly and Marie-Rose Chalme, the wife of Nikolai Ober, who had long been the count's attorney and bought the house from him.

In 1803, Nikolai Ober became known for his flight in a hot air balloon with Jacques Garnerin, which started from a field near the Krutitsky Barracks and ended near the suburban estate of Ostafyevo. His wife, Marie Rose, opened a popular shop on the ground floor selling artistic bronzes and other valuable items. According to S.P. Zhikharev's memories, the shop was very successful: 'Madame Ober-Chalme had such a visit that the whole lane was filled with carriages.' In Leo Tolstoy's novel 'War and Peace,' Natasha Rostova visited this shop for outfits. Madame was also involved in smuggling, and in December 1804, prohibited goods worth 200 thousand were found with her, but noble buyers saved her.

Before the French troops entered Moscow, Nikolai Ober was expelled from the city by F.V. Rostopchin, but Marie Rose remained. It is known that Napoleon summoned her to the Peterhof Palace for a conversation, about which one memoirist wrote: '...you don't know what to think of the great man who asks, and whom, Madame O., about matters of politics, administration, and seeks advice for his actions from a woman! It should not be thought that she alone was honored with such grace: many ignorant fools were also brought to him, and he sought truth from them...'. The house on Glinischevsky Lane became the residence of the city's and Moscow province's intendant, Lesseps, and therefore remained unharmed.

Ober-Chalme left Moscow with two small sons along with the Napoleonic army but died of typhus on the way. Her sons made it to France, received an education, and grew up. The house was occupied by the office of the Moscow chief of police Ivashkin, Madame's shop was closed, and the items were sold off or appropriated by officials. In October 1816, the house was returned to the sons of Nikolai Ober, Fyodor and Lavrenty. Lavrenty rented it to Moscow merchant Ivan Kopp, who opened a hotel 'with a restaurant' here, initially called 'Sever' and later 'Angliya.' A.S. Pushkin stayed at the hotel several times. Here, on March 29, 1829, he met Adam Mickiewicz for the last time, in memory of which a memorial plaque was installed on the house.

During the Soviet era, the building was transferred to the Committee of Soviet Women, and now it houses the 'Union of Women of Russia.'
