The building at 43 Myasnitskaya Street in Moscow is better known as the Lobanov-Rostovsky Palace, belonging to an ancient noble family. However, over time, this site and structure have had many owners. For example, in the mid-18th century, it was home to chamberlain Alexei Danilovich Tatishchev, a favorite of Anna Ioannovna. He devised an original entertainment for the empress by ordering the construction of an Ice House, where a mock wedding took place between Prince Golitsyn and maid Buzheninova. Under Elizabeth Petrovna, Tatishchev became the chief of police and conducted an unusual judicial reform: criminals were branded with tattoos reading 'thief,' and if a mistake in the investigation was revealed, the prefix 'not' was added. Such an approach to justice was common in those times!

After Tatishchev, the palace passed to Alexander Lobanov-Rostovsky, who began a major reconstruction, especially of the facade. The building was divided into five parts by three risalits, and the central part was distinguished by an unusual solution: instead of a portico, a high arch on Greek columns was erected.
