Until the end of the 18th century, between the modern Georgievsky and Kamergersky lanes, adjacent to Tverskaya on one side and to the Georgievsky Monastery on the other, there were two estates: Prince M.N. Volkonsky's (closer to Georgievsky) and Prince S.M. Golitsyn's (towards Tverskaya). In the early 19th century, both plots were acquired by Privy Councillor and chamberlain Pyotr Beketov, who also owned the village of Zyuzino. The unofficial name of the lane, Kamergersky, is associated with the chamberlains who lived here: Streshnev, Golitsyn, and later Beketov.

In 1847, Beketov's plot was bought by Collegiate Councillor A.D. Serebryakov. Ten years later, the property was divided again: part went to the Moscow Public Charity Office, while the other, facing Georgievsky Lane, was purchased by the Sushkin merchants. In 1864, they demolished all the buildings, invited architect I. Bernikov, and built a three-story apartment building with a passage arch connecting the courtyard to the lane (the arch was later bricked up). The building was intended for residents of moderate means: apartments were located on the upper floors, the basement was used as a storage, and shops and offices were on the first floor. Another apartment building was constructed in 1871.

The neighboring estate belonged to Nikolai Petrovich Matteiessen, where the main estate house from the early 19th century has been preserved. However, even here, in the late 1880s, a U-shaped apartment building appeared, adjoining the main house, which soon received a fifth floor with apartments.

In the house facing Georgievsky Lane (now d. 1, bldg. 1), lived violinist and concertmaster of the Bolshoi Theatre Karl Antonovich Klamrot, a teacher at the Moscow Conservatory, who opened his violin classes here. The director of the Imperial Theatres, Vladimir Telyakovsky, recalled Klamrot, who worked in the orchestra for 50 years and received ovations before his departure to Germany in 1901 after his last performance. Klamrot's son, Anton, graduated from the Berlin Academy of Arts and became a renowned portraitist.

Before the revolution, this house housed the theatrical library of S.F. Rassokhin, associated with the First Theatrical Agency, founded in 1892 by Elizaveta Nikolaevna Rassokhina. There was also a central theatrical box office and a library that stored scores and texts of plays. The building also housed the library of the 'Society of Russian Dramatic Writers and Opera Composers.'

In 1910, additional basement premises were built under the courtyard according to the project of M.A. Folkner. In 1911, the street facade was altered according to the project of S.O. Kulagin. Until the mid-20th century, there were communal apartments here, but in the 1960s-1970s, they were vacated, and the house began to be used for offices, leading to the loss of the internal layout.

The apartment building on the territory of the Matteiessen estate suffered more. In the 1930s, during the expansion of Tverskaya Street, a significant part of it was demolished, leaving only a small part (d. 1, bldg. 3), where the interiors have not been preserved. The basement and underground space under the courtyard are used as storage.
