Venediktov-Shnaubert-Monoszon Urban Estate

Фото 1
On the 18th-century plans along the banks of the Rachka River, now hidden in an underground collector, along the red line of Kolpachny Lane, named after the old settlement of cap makers, stone buildings were depicted. These were modest settlement chambers, likely dating back to the time of Peter the Great. Information about the original owner of these chambers has not yet been found. By the end of the 18th century, they became part of the Venediktov urban estate and were reconstructed.

After the fire of 1812, the estate was restored by the new owner, Dr. K. Shnaubert, who built a service building next to the main house.

In the second half of the 19th century, part of the large estate at the corner with Kolpachny Lane passed to B. Sh. Monoszon. In the early 20th century, his widow, Mirka (Meri) Mikhelevna, commissioned the well-known architect Semyon Semyonovich Eibushitz, who had recently built the Moscow Choral Synagogue in the neighboring Bolshoy Spasoglinishchevsky Lane, to design the reconstruction of the estate. As a result, the wing of the estate was connected to the main house, and the building acquired eclectic facades and a charming corner balcony. The heirs of M. M. Monoszon owned the estate until the revolution.

This cozy Moscow house, beloved by many artists and photographers, is one of the most famous landmarks of Ivanovskaya Hill and is often depicted in paintings and photographs.

Just ten years ago, one could enter the courtyard and climb the stairs to the local "attraction," the "tarzan" swing, which local children loved to ride. Now, unfortunately, access to the courtyard is closed off by gates.

Currently, the estate has the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
