The property has been known since 1800, when its owner was the provincial prosecutor Feodosiy Kuzmich Yatsyn. After a fire, the house was rebuilt according to the plans of the construction commission and acquired Empire features. The facade of the three-story building was adorned with a pediment and a six-columned pilaster portico, while the side risalits featured stucco decorations. The window openings had a strict design. The first white-stone floor has been preserved since the 18th century. From the mid-19th century, the house belonged to the merchant family Matveevs, whose heirs became nobles. Olga Sergeevna Matveeva, the widow of a captain, owned the house from the 1880s until the revolution.

In the 1920s and 30s, the Hero of the Soviet Union, renowned pilot Tatyana Petrovna Makarova, lived here. She was born into a religious family and sang in the church choir at the Church of Sophia the Wisdom of God, located behind the house. However, her school upbringing turned her into a pioneer, and she left the choir and stopped attending church.

After school, Tatyana enrolled in a mechanical college for the food industry. In her third year, she joined an aeroclub and hurried to the airfield after lectures. After graduating from the college in 1939, Makarova worked as a technician-confectioner at the 'Bolshevik' factory. However, airplanes continued to attract her, and in 1940 she became a pilot-instructor at the Proletarian Aeroclub of Moscow. With the onset of the Great Patriotic War, Tatyana voluntarily went to the front.

From May 1942, she was the commander of a flight of the 588th Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, created by pilot Marina Raskova. The regiment was predominantly female and flew light Po-2 (U-2) aircraft designed by N.N. Polikarpov. Together with navigator Vera Belik, Tatyana made 628 combat night sorties. On the night of August 23, 1944, in a battle with a fascist fighter, Tatyana Makarova and Vera Belik were killed while liberating Poland. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on February 23, 1945, Tatyana Makarova and Vera Belik were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

A monument has been erected at their grave in Poland, at the mass grave of Soviet soldiers in the city of Ostrowenka.

At one time, Bolotnaya Street was named after Tatyana Makarova.
