Until the 1840s, there was a 4th tavern at the intersection of Lermontov Street and Troitsky Hill. Later, a two-story wooden residential house was built on this site, which its owner later covered with bricks. By the mid-1880s, the house was acquired by Anna Vasilyevna Chirikhina. She erected a stone two-story house that adjoined the already existing brick house. This solid mansion was located on the Old Cathedral Square, "on the cape formed by Chasovennaya Street and Troitsky Hill," opposite the Kazan School of that time.

Anna Vasilyevna Chirikhina, who inherited an iron foundry from her first husband Prokofy Kutin, is primarily known as the owner of this house. The unique ornate metal staircases, balconies, railings, and gates produced at her factory still adorn many old buildings in the city.

After the October Revolution, Chirikhina lost all her property. The seventy-six-year-old woman found herself caught in the whirlpool of revolutionary events, and her further fate is unknown. According to some reports, Anna Vasilyevna was unable to leave the country, lost all means of livelihood, and died in poverty in 1924. Some sources claim that she died of hunger.

Chirikhina's house on Old Cathedral Square was transformed into a multi-apartment residential building. This two-story building, built in the classical style, is solid but modest, just like Anna Chirikhina herself. The house has survived to this day, although time has erased all mentions of its former owner. Currently, a beauty salon is located on the first floor of the building.
