The income-generating house of lawyer Fyodor Plevako was built in 1905 based on a design by the Moscow architect of Polish descent, Pyotr Mikina. Among Mikina's notable works are the income-generating house on Chistoprudny Boulevard, constructed in 1908 in collaboration with Lev Kravetsky and Sergey Vashkov, as well as the house on Armenian Lane, built in 1901 and 1905 together with Vladimir Vlastov.

The Plevako House has preserved its original layout and unique facade decor. The consoles supporting the balconies have an unusual shape and are not found in other buildings in Moscow. The stairwells are illuminated by large windows with a fine rectangular grid, characteristic of northern Art Nouveau. The building stands out with its massive forms and natural colors and textures.

The facade of the four-story brick house is partially covered with rough plaster that mimics unprocessed porous stone and is painted in light beige tones. The facade is adorned with panels made of majolica, typical of northern Art Nouveau, produced at the Abramtsevo pottery workshop of Savva Mamontov. These panels were gifted to lawyer Plevako in gratitude for his successful defense of Mamontov in court.

Large majolica panels are located above the entrances to the building's stairwells. Two mosaics are made of multicolored tiles in turquoise, blue, and violet tones. They are complemented by tiles featuring 'Fish' based on a design by Mikhail Vrubel. Smaller mosaics are located in niches above the balconies. One depicts a girl with loose hair making her way through thickets, while the other shows an arch entwined with branches bearing fruit, under which a pair of swans swims towards a peacock on the shore. This scene is believed to be inspired by Konstantin Korovin's painting 'Swans.'

Today, the four-story house serves as a residential apartment building.

Fyodor Plevako (1842, 1909) was a well-known Moscow lawyer and jurist, an actual state councilor. He graduated from the law faculty of Moscow University and often defended low-income clients in court for free, sometimes covering their unforeseen expenses. Plevako gained fame for his oratory skills and was friends with prominent cultural figures such as Mikhail Vrubel, Konstantin Korovin, Konstantin Stanislavsky, Fyodor Shalyapin, and Maria Ermolova.
