The Arshenovsky Estate House

Фото 1
House No. 13 on Taganskaya Street, built in the classical era, holds an esteemed place in M. Kazakov's sixth album, where the architect gathered remarkable "particular buildings."

The facade of the building, designed in a symmetrical style with minimalist decor, reflects the canons of classical architecture. This is the main estate house, built on the land of Nikolai Yakovlevich Arshenovsky, a notable nobleman of the times of Catherine II and Paul I, between 1790 and 1800. He was the brother of the civil governor of Moscow. Previously, there were stone chambers of the Zemskov merchants, dated to the first quarter of the 18th century. These premises have survived to this day and occupy the first, semi-basement floor of the building. After the Zemskovs, the house passed to the Ryazan manufacturer G.A. Ipatiev.

The Arshenovsky house was designed for the residence of two families, which is confirmed by its internal layout. The irregular arrangement of the rooms indicates reconstruction from an earlier structure. The central part of the rear facade features a long narrow room with eight windows and two stoves. In the 18th century, a formal garden was laid out behind the house.

Above the central part of the building rises a mezzanine, which appeared after the fire of 1812, when the house belonged to merchant Kuzma Sychkov.

Since 1920, the building has been used as a communal apartment. In the 1990s, it housed the "Voskhoд" printing house, and the house was in a state of emergency.

Since 2000, the estate building has housed a furniture museum. In the vaulted rooms of the 18th-century chambers, a restaurant operated until recently. The Arshenovsky garden has become part of the territory of the N.N. Pryamikov Children's Park.
