The name of the alley where this beautiful house is located appeared in the 17th century. Here was the settlement of craftsmen who made hats and caps.

The mansion at number 9 on Kolpachny Alley belonged to Grigory Petrovich Yurgenson and was built in 1912 according to the design of architect Vladimir Glazov.

The building combines Renaissance forms and Gothic elements. The facades are adorned with stucco details, among which lion masks and female heads in medallions stand out.

The owner's father, Pyotr Ivanovich Yurgenson, was a well-known music publisher, recognized both in Russia and abroad. His life serves as an example of how much can be achieved through intelligence, perseverance, and energy.

Pyotr Ivanovich was born in Revel (now Tallinn) in 1836 into a poor, large family of fisherman Johan Kirs and Aeta. His father later took his wife's maiden name and became Yurgenson. At the age of 14, Pyotr was sent to St. Petersburg to his older brother Joseph, who worked in the music trade of Bernard. This event determined his life path. For about four years, he worked as a clerk in music stores, then became a manager, and in 1861 opened his own music firm. His intuition and calculations did not let him down. Promoting the musical culture of Russia and publishing works of Russian composers became the work of his life. By the end of the century, Yurgenson's firm had released 29,000 musical works, including almost all compositions by Tchaikovsky, N. Rubinstein, Arensky, and other famous composers, becoming the largest in Russia.

Yurgenson was the first publisher of many works by Tchaikovsky, with whom he shared a long friendship. An apartment was arranged for the composer in Yurgenson's house, where he often stayed.

After Pyotr Ivanovich's death in 1903, his business passed to his sons Boris and Grigory. In 1918, the firm was nationalized and transformed into the State Music Publishing House (Gosmuzizdat).

During the Soviet era, the Yurgenson mansion on Kolpachny Alley housed the representation of the Yakut ASSR.

Currently, this building has the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
