Isaakiy Stepanovich Gusev, a merchant of the second guild, built a trading and industrial estate with a factory in the city center (now Sovetskaya St., 9) without an approved project, but with calculations for vaulted ceilings.

Gusev's nail and wire factory opened in 1908. The products were sold in the "Zhelezo" store and were in demand among the residents of Syzran, which allowed the enterprise to thrive. Eight years later, about 60 people worked at the factory. The production utilized technical innovations, such as a 100-horsepower oil engine for machines and lighting.

The trading and industrial estate, like other stone buildings in the city center, was built after the fire of 1906. Gusev and his wife Mariamm Spiridonovna owned several properties in the expensive part of the city. The store, designed in an eclectic style, faced Bolshaya (now Sovetskaya) Street, while the warehouse faced Simbirskaya (now Ulyanovskaya). The factory was located in the courtyard of the estate, accessible through an arch on the left side of the store.

The factory has not survived to this day, but its description can be found in the inspection protocols of 1913. The building was single-story, with sections for machines, chemical wire processing, and the oil engine. Nearby was a water tank with pipes leading inside. Due to the dense development, Gusev's estate turned out to be asymmetrical and compact, which likely forced the owner to add to the building. It now looks close to its original state.

After the revolution, the factory was nationalized and became part of the Syzran nail, wire, cast iron foundry, and mechanical factory named after May 1, subordinate to the Council of National Economy of the Ulyanovsk province. Before the Great Patriotic War, it was replaced by the foundry production of factory No. 481 ("Selmash"). In the vacant premises, training workshops of vocational school No. 10 (GPTU No. 41) were located. In 1943, a workshop of a hosiery factory opened here when enterprises were evacuated from occupied territories to Syzran.

Thirty years ago, the building was rented by the Syzran liquor factory for the "Rodnik" store. A project was developed for the reorganization of the premises and entrance from Sovetskaya Street, which included dividing the sales area with ceramic bricks, decorating the floor with mosaic tiles, equipping the internal vestibule, and placing advertising boards on the windows. However, after the closure of the "liquor store," the building was left without an owner. Later, various city organizations, service enterprises, shops, and cafes were located here.
