The Khludov family, originally from Yegoryevsk, settled in Moscow in 1817 when I.I. Khludov, the founder of the famous merchant dynasty, opened his first workshop on Shvivaya Hill. This marked the beginning of their large-scale paper spinning production.

Over time, the family grew and spread across Moscow, with many addresses associated with the Khludovs becoming known to historians. By the end of the 19th century, the Khludovs occupied a plot at the corner of Malaya Polyanka and 1st Khvostov Lane in northern Zamoskvorechye. The directory "All Moscow" records this plot as belonging to the Khludovs since 1901.

The estate has a long history and an interesting location. Malaya Polyanka was likely laid out as a continuation of Malaya Yakimanka to connect the main roads of the area. These roads diverged at the Church of St. Great Martyrs Cosmas and Damian, which stood on Bolshaya Polyanka and led to Serpukhov, while Bolshaya Yakimanka led to Kaluga.

The formation of Malaya Polyanka and Malaya Yakimanka dates back to the late 1770s when major urban development works were being carried out in Moscow. In 1771, the city experienced the "Plague Riot," and in 1774, Catherine II approved the first general plan for the development of Moscow, which included numerous initiatives, such as the establishment of a centralized water supply.

The routes of 1st and 2nd Khvostov Lanes remind us of the ancient lineage of the boyars Khvostov. The development of the plot is likely connected to the "Prozhektersky Plan," which recommended rounding the corners of buildings for convenience. Such buildings include the two-story house at Malaya Polyanka, 7.

The modern appearance of the building's facades dates back to the 1860s when construction work was carried out. The facade retained the composition of the late 18th century, complemented by interesting details such as Corinthian pilasters and a complex tympanum.

Before World War I, in 1914, a tenement house was built on the plot according to the design of architect V.V. Sherwood Jr. I.S. Shmelev lived in this house from 1915 to 1922.

Supportive repairs and adaptation works for modern use are being carried out in the Kitchen Block of the estate.
