In the 19th century, the main house was part of the urban estate of the Matveev merchants. The first documentary mention of this property dates back to the late 18th century. According to materials from 1796, it was a courtyard with buildings within historical boundaries. An archival plan from 1838 indicates that the plot belonged to the Moscow merchant Stepan Matveevich Matveev. The estate, located in the western part of the territory, included stone and wooden buildings, and a garden adjoined the eastern boundary.

The main facade of the estate house faced the alley and was a one-story stone building with a basement and two wooden extensions. Nearby, at the southern boundary, there was a one-story stone wing. In 1838, S.M. Matveev received permission to build a wooden mezzanine above the main house.

After his death in 1873, the estate passed to his daughter, Tatyana Stepanovna Solovyova, who owned it until 1899. In 1876, she received permission to clad the basement of the main house in white stone and update the plaster with added window frames.

In 1892, T.S. Solovyova carried out repairs with the involvement of architect S.F. Baranov. According to his project, changes were made: in the one-story stone house with a semi-basement and wooden mezzanine, a door was made from a window, and internal repairs were conducted, including fixing floors, stoves, and frames, as well as updating the facade plaster and decorating with stucco.

In 1899, the estate was purchased by Alexandra Alexandrovna Butyugina, the wife of a first-guild merchant. Her heirs lived there until 1975. The basements were used for storage, and the first floor was rented out. In 1908, architect Ivan Sergeyevich Kuznetsov oversaw the work, and in 1910, he was commissioned to remodel the mezzanine. According to the description from 1913-1914, the house lacked sewage and plumbing.

In 1932, a sewage project was developed. Floor plans from that time record the historical layout of the house. Subsequently, all buildings of the estate, except for the main house, were lost.

The preserved brick building is a one-story volume with a basement and a hipped roof converging to the mezzanine with a pediment and two windows. The street facade has eleven windows and a simple cornice. The vertical rhythm of the risalits and rectangular windows without frames, with keystones above the center, creates a strict appearance. The style of the house is based on classical forms with their balance and regularity, which gives it expressiveness.

The building was restored under the preferential rental program "1 ruble per 1 sq. m." In 2019, restoration and adaptation works for a mini-hotel were completed. The main house of the Matveev estate became a laureate of the "Moscow Restoration-2020" competition in the categories for the best organization of repair and restoration work and the best project for restoration and adaptation for modern use.
