According to available data, this house was built in the late 18th century and is considered one of the oldest in modern Saratov, possibly even the oldest. In the early 19th century, the owner of the mansion and the adjacent estate was the city mayor, merchant, and public figure Osip Fyodorovich Gorbunov. On the estate's territory, in addition to the spacious stone house with a mezzanine, there were various buildings: a stable, carriage houses, barns, warehouses, cellars, and drying rooms. After the death of Osip Fyodorovich, from the mid-century, the estate changed hands multiple times and gradually fell into disrepair, especially due to the relocation of the city center from the vicinity of the Trinity Cathedral towards Moskovskaya Street and the Upper Market. In the early 20th century, the estate was owned by relatives of the city mayor L. S. Maslennikov. Part of the premises in the mansion was rented out as a hotel and tavern, and later a bathhouse and the cinema 'Universal' opened here, which operated until the 1920s.

During the Soviet era, the house and numerous outbuildings, such as shops, barns, carriage houses, and granaries, were converted into communal apartments, which negatively affected the already dilapidated condition of the buildings.

Currently, the first floor of the former Gorbunov house, recognized as a cultural heritage site, houses a pharmacy, a hairdresser, a shoe store, and a dry cleaner, while the upper floors contain residential apartments. If you walk around the building, you can find a spacious entrance to the basement, which is a characteristic feature of houses from that time.

The building continues to remain in a neglected state and needs major repairs.
