Sadovnichesky Street got its name from the Lower Sadovnichesky settlement located east of Balchug Street. These settlements emerged during the reign of Tsar Ivan III. The street was first marked on Meyerberg's plan in 1661. At that time, the area known as Lower Sadovniki had 403 households, which gradually consolidated. In the 1780s, a drainage canal was dug in place of the Staritsa River, forming an island. Sadovnichesky Street ran along the middle line of the island between the Moscow River and the canal. The street's development over time consisted mainly of wooden residential houses, with two-story estates being rare. A detailed map of the area, compiled between 1849 and 1854, showed all the households on the street, as well as other buildings and gardens. The houses stood along the red line of the street, while gardens and vegetable plots faced the river. Stone chambers were rarely built, but at the site of house No. 43, such chambers existed, first marked on the 1796 plan as the property of merchant Anika Iconnikov. During the construction of a new house, the chambers were partially destroyed, and nearby the Iconnikov estate was erected, later belonging to N.A. Avaev. Since the 1890s, this house was inhabited by merchant of the 2nd guild Alexander Alexandrovich Krymov.
The architectural appearance of Sadovnichesky Street changed over time. From the late 19th century, it was shaped by the buildings of masters such as M.F. Bugrovsky, N.D. Strukov, M.K. Geppener, E.K. Nirnzee, V.G. Sretensky, and V.D. Adamovich.
The architecture of our house combines elements of eclecticism and neoclassicism characteristic of that time. The design involved architects Ivan Ivanovich Pozdeev and Mikhail Fedorovich Bugrovsky.
The house is situated so that the main facade faces the inner courtyard, while the side facade faces the street. The building stands deep on the plot and has two floors. The entrance to the house is from the courtyard through a massive risalit with a trapezoidal tent. The facades are decorated with rustication, above the windows are located sills, and above the cornice of the second floor of the street facade is a decorative attic.
In front of the house, a fence designed by I.I. Pozdeev is installed, with entrance gates and two pilaster-like gates. The fence is made in the style of simplified late eclecticism with elements of neoclassicism, including vertical spear-like rods and horizontal tiers of 'carnelian'.
Currently, the house is undergoing restoration: the facade with stucco decor is well-finished, but there are unfinished areas. Nevertheless, the estate house with the fence and adjacent buildings gives the street the architectural color of 19th-century Moscow.
The estate is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
