Information about the building

The urban estate, located between Pyatnitskaya Street and Golikovsky Lane, was formed in the mid-18th century under Princess P.I. Vyazemskaya. The main house, shaped like the letter 'G', became the center of the dense development of the estate, which included several buildings. In 1789, the new owner, retired sergeant T. Rakhmanov, added a second floor and an extension to the house. However, as a result of the fire in 1812, all the buildings of the estate were burned down and demolished to level the red line of Pyatnitskaya Street. Until the end of the 1840s, there is no information about the development of the estate. In the mid-19th century, a stone mansion with a wooden mezzanine appeared on the plans of Zamoskvorechye, likely built in the 1810s-1830s. The architectural solution and facade decor allow it to be attributed to projects from the 'Collection of Facades, Most High Approved by His Imperial Majesty for Private Buildings in the Cities of the Russian Empire' (1809-1812).

In addition to the main house, the estate included two more buildings: a residential block with a wooden extension in the courtyard and a stone shed along Golikovsky Lane. In the 1860s, the new owner F.F. Nazarova acquired the neighboring property on Pyatnitskaya Street and joined it to her estate, but in 1873 this part was transferred by gift. In the 1900s, M.P. Nazarova, the heir of the previous owner, rented out the estate buildings, generating income. Among the tenants were merchant Lobozyev with a wine shop, merchant Alexeev with a vegetable shop, and tradesman Sirotin, who placed a sign on the facade reading 'Taking Orders for Tailoring Establishment.' The remaining premises were rented out as residential apartments.

Restoration

For almost two hundred years, the building has not undergone significant reconstructions. In recent times, a restoration was carried out, during which specialists restored the keystone of the windows made of white stone, the rustication of the first floor, the window cornices with brackets, and the architraves above three windows on the second floor. The side facades were also restored and adorned with more modest keystones. House No. 36 on Pyatnitskaya Street is not a major landmark, but its appearance provides an idea of typical construction in Moscow during the post-fire period.
