The estate on Bolshaya Ordynka belonged to Lieutenant of the Life Guards Semenovsky Regiment Stepan Bibikov and included properties 42 and 44. The main house was built shortly after the fire of 1812. In 1853, the property was divided: the larger part went to merchant Nikolai Vasilyevich Nemirov-Kolodkin, while the former wing became the home of merchant Feoktistov.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Nemirov was born in Vologda on April 18, 1819, into a family of Orthodox merchants. He learned the silver craft in his hometown and then moved to Moscow as an experienced master. Settling with merchant Golyashkin on Pyatnitskaya Street, he found himself among the 'Moscow merchants.' For almost ten years, Nikolai Vasilyevich worked as a clerk for merchant Ivan Ivanovich Kolodkin, who owned shops in the Silver Row on Ilyinka. Kolodkin, an expert in silver work, was nearly 25 years older than Nemirov. A trusting relationship developed between them, and Ivan Ivanovich made Nemirov his partner, passing the business to him. At that time, the Moscow magistrate approved Nikolai Vasilyevich's request to be named Nemirov-Kolodkin. However, he dreamed of starting his own business and patiently saved money, with the help of his wife Darya Artemyevna.

Soon, Nemirov-Kolodkin opened his own jewelry shop, assisted by his nephews from Vologda. A few years later, they opened a small jewelry workshop, and the client base expanded to include wealthy families from both capitals. Over time, Nemirov-Kolodkin became the owner of a factory producing gold and silver items. In 1883, the trading house 'N. V. Nemirov-Kolodkin' was founded, and Nikolai Vasilyevich received the title of hereditary honorary citizen. He was actively involved in charity work, for which he was awarded orders, and donated to education, not forgetting about Vologda.

Nikolai Vasilyevich decorated the house on Bolshaya Ordynka to his taste. He commissioned portraits of himself and his wife from the best artists and furnished the house with expensive mahogany furniture.

In 1886, Nikolai Vasilyevich passed away. In his will, he requested to open a charitable institution for blind poor women in his estate, as his wife Darya Artemyevna had gone blind. Thus, the charitable institution named after Nikolai Vasilyevich and Darya Artemyevna Nemirov-Kolodkin was established, which existed until 1917. During the Soviet era, apartments for workers were arranged in the buildings of the institution, and in the 1990s, the facade of the main house of estate 44 was significantly altered and lost its decorative elements. At that time, the southern wing of the estate was demolished, and a concrete building was constructed in its place. In the summer of 2011, the other wing of the estate, the Feoktistov house, was also demolished.
