In the 1730s-40s, the plot on Bolshaya Ordynka belonged to first guild merchant Dmitry Rodionovich Olenyev, who was engaged in the trade of leather goods. The estate included chambers from the late 17th century (Bolshaya Ordynka, building 14), located deep within the plot, and small outbuildings. Researchers do not know who exactly built the chambers, but it is assumed that it could have been one of the merchants living in Kadashovskaya Sloboda. In 1778, the estate was inherited by Onufriy Dmitrievich Olenyev, the son of the previous owner. The construction was oriented not towards Bolshaya Ordynka, but towards Kadashevsky Tupik. In addition to the two-story chambers, to which a new volume was added, new wooden outbuildings appeared on the territory. In 1812, the estate suffered greatly from a fire but was restored five years after Napoleon's expulsion. In 1844, the facades of the chambers were plastered and decorated in the style of late Moscow classicism.

In the mid-19th century, the Olenyevs sold the property to the merchant Yegor Petrovich Petrov, who built a complex of buildings oriented towards Bolshaya Ordynka (modern buildings 1-2 and 20 of house No. 14). In the new houses, Petrov organized rental housing and craft production. At the back of the courtyard, two-story buildings were erected for a carriage factory, as well as for molar, shoemaking, and body production. Seventy people worked at Petrov's factory, living right on the premises. In the second half of the 19th century, a dense type of development characteristic of small productions in Moscow emerged here. In 1906, Petrov's heirs sold the property to the Ivanov merchants, who organized a confectionery production here. During the Soviet era, the complex was adapted for a furniture factory, whose offices were located in the most representative buildings on Bolshaya Ordynka. The dense development was further intensified, with aesthetic requirements not being taken into account. Historical buildings deep within the courtyard were hidden by extensions and canopies.

Several years ago, most of the buildings of the former Petrov estate were demolished for the construction of the office-residential complex 'Five Capitals.' Only three houses have survived to this day: the ancient chambers of the Olenyevs and two buildings on the street, recently restored. The left house (Bolshaya Ordynka, 14, building 1-2) is adorned with rustication on the first floor, with unbraced side risalits and a crowning cornice. The right building (Bolshaya Ordynka, 14, building 20) has retained rich stucco decoration on the second floor and expressive arched windows. Between the two houses is a fence with gate pylons from the early 20th century, which is also a monument of regional significance. The former chambers of the Olenyevs are now awaiting scientific restoration as an important element of historical development with high architectural value.
