House with 'Galdaireikas'

Фото 1
The chambers of Dashkov were expanded and decorated in the classical style at the end of the 18th century. In 1842, merchant D. D. Gzheltsov built one-story stone shops here, which were later raised to two stories after forty years. The last pre-revolutionary owner of the building was the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, founded in the late 14th century near Zvenigorod. Under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, this monastery served for some time as the official country residence of the tsar. In this house on Pyatnitskaya, the famous poet-songwriter V.I. Lebedev-Kumach was born and lived in 1889, the author of songs such as 'March of the Tractor Drivers', 'Song of the Artillerymen', and 'Sports March', which were popular in the pre-war years. A memorial plaque with a bronze bas-relief portrait of the poet is installed on the house.

The courtyard part of the building is of particular interest. At the back of the courtyard is the main house of the estate of merchant A. S. Yeremeev with the chambers of Prince A.I. Dashkov from the 17th century. Inside the ancient building, one can see brick vaults and arched niches on the walls. However, it should be noted that the old bricks have been polished.

Andrei Yeremeev, the owner of the estate, managed a wool factory in Moscow in the 18th century, with its office located on Maroseyka Street. At the end of the 18th century, his production was acquired by Demid Demidovich Meshchaninov.

In the courtyard on Pyatnitskaya, films about the life of merchant Zamoskvorechye could recently be shot. Along the courtyard part of house No. 6 were covered galleries, or 'galdaireikas', as they were called by Muscovites. Residents entered their apartments directly from the galleries, the entrances to which were located in the passageway. But recently the house was rebuilt, and the 'galdaireikas' disappeared. Such houses with galleries were common in the 19th century, and almost all of Zaryadye consisted of them. Now only a few such houses remain in Moscow: two on Khitrovka and one, the largest, three-story house on Pokrovka. In some Moscow courtyards, traces of 'galdaireikas' can still be seen, hidden under the reconstruction of the Soviet era.
