Yushkov House is a historical architectural monument that vividly represents the era of Classicism. It is located at the intersection of Myasnitskaya Street and Bobrov Lane in Moscow. It is believed to have been designed by the Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov and is a cultural heritage site.

Construction began in the 1780s at the request of Ivan Ivanovich Yushkov, a former governor of Moscow. However, during his lifetime, the building was not completed and passed to his son, Pyotr Ivanovich Yushkov. It is said that lavish receptions and balls, as well as Masonic meetings, took place in Pyotr Ivanovich's house. This place was popular among prominent figures of that time.

In the 1830s, due to financial difficulties, Yushkov began renting out the house, and in 1844 he was forced to sell it. The building was acquired for the "School of Painting and Sculpture" of the Moscow Art Society. Notably, anyone could enroll in this school, regardless of social status, including serfs, who were provided with the same education. Gifted serfs could gain their freedom after successful training. By the end of the 19th century, the school had attained the status of a higher educational institution, where training for sculptors and painters lasted 8 years, and for architects, 10 years.

Yushkov House became a place for many significant acquaintances. For example, at one of the traveling exhibitions, Boris Pasternak and Leo Tolstoy met here, leading to a friendship and collaboration on illustrations for the novels "War and Peace" and "Resurrection." It is also known that Boris Pasternak's family lived in Yushkov House for a long time, and his memoirs contain descriptions of this period, the building itself, and the view from it.

Over time, the names of the institutions located in the building changed, but Yushkov House has always remained a place for artists, sculptors, and architects. Today, it houses the Ilya Glazunov Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture.
