The formation of the appearance of Zamoskvorechye in the 18th-19th centuries was significantly influenced by small urban estates. Some of them, like this one, were located at the corner of two alleys, giving them special significance.

At the intersection of Pyzhevsky and Staromonetny alleys in the late 18th century stood a beautiful urban estate. Pyzhevsky alley was named in the late 19th century in honor of the streltsy settlement and the regiment of Colonel Bogdan Klimentyevich Pyzhev. Previously, it was called Yegoryevsky, and then Griboedovsky, after one of the owners, Alexei Fyodorovich Griboedov, and the famous writer Alexander Griboedov. His estate occupied houses No. 3 and No. 5, located next to house No. 7.

Staromonetny alley got its name due to the old mint that existed here during the time of Peter I from 1701 to 1736. Until the end of the 19th century, it was called Denegny.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it was customary to build small urban estates in the alleys of Zamoskvorechye. These buildings were often remodeled, changed owners, and decor. The main house of the estate was a one-story structure with a wooden mezzanine, facing the alley but without a grand entrance. One could enter the house from the yard, passing between it and the outbuilding. Currently, the gates and the wicket are absent, but it can be assumed that they were designed in the neoclassical style. Today, the building is in need of restoration.

The two-story building No. 7 appears to be better preserved, with its facade facing Pyzhevsky alley. The entrance to the building is also located in the yard, the windows lack trim, and the stone mezzanine was built later. Inside, remnants of the chambers have been preserved. Currently, these buildings are under the management of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
