The territory of the estate was formed after a fire around 1819, when the large urban estate of Anna Nikolaevna Matyushina was divided into parts. The estate, built in the early 19th century on vacant lands of the artillery department, suffered from a fire in 1712 that caused a powerful explosion at the Granatny yard's powder warehouses, which occupied a significant part of the area.

In 1812, the estate was almost completely burned down, leading to its division into small holdings. One of these holdings, located at the corner of the block, began to be developed only after 1825. The then-owners decided to build the main residential house at the intersection of Georgievsky (now Vspolny) and Granatny lanes (building No. 1). The wooden one-story house on a stone foundation remained unchanged until the last third of the 19th century, changing many owners.

From 1850 to 1873, one of the owners was Maria Petrovna Akhlestysheva, the widow of the hero of the 1812 war, Lieutenant General Mikhail Fyodorovich Akhlestyshev. Akhlestyshev participated in the battles of Austerlitz, in East Prussia, and fought against the Turks on the Danube. During the Patriotic War of 1812, he commanded a regiment in the infantry division of the Danube army, participated in numerous battles, and was wounded. For his merits, he received the orders of Saint Anna 1st class, Saint John of Jerusalem, Saint Vladimir, and others.

In the 1870s, the new owner, Staff Captain A.A. Zershchikov, conducted the first major redevelopment of the estate. To increase profitability, he added a two-story stone building along Georgievsky lane (modern building No. 2) to the main house and a two-story wooden house from the side of Granatny, leaving a passage between them (lost building No. 3). The project of the houses was developed by civil engineer Vasily Gerasimovich Zalesky in the neoclassical style.

In 1880, the owner partially added a second wooden floor to modern building No. 1.

All three houses of the estate formed a single architectural ensemble. Their facades, adorned with rectangular and semi-circular window openings, pilasters with female heads, and stucco ornaments with plant motifs, have been well preserved to this day.

The houses were arranged as apartments for rent. After the revolution, the estate came under the management of a housing cooperative.

The estate complex remained unchanged until the early 1990s, when building No. 3 was demolished, and building No. 2 underwent reconstruction.
