In 1888, Moscow merchant Vasily Ivanovich Pyatnitsky laid the foundation of his estate, located between Malaya Kadashevskaya Lane (now 3rd Kadashevsky) and Tupy Lane (Ordynsky Dead End), with the Moscow Credit Society. At that time, the estate included the main house with a metal balcony on stone pillars, a gazebo with an open wooden terrace, and stone granaries.

In 1904, personal honorary citizen Fyodor Petrovich Kuznetsov purchased this property for 66 thousand rubles. Kuznetsov owned or rented several bath enterprises, including the "Central Baths" of Khlyudov on Teatralny Passage (together with I. N. Vinogradov), a bath complex on Neglinnoy Passage, 27, and the "European" baths of I. N. Malyshev in the "Pegov House" at the corner of Neglinnoy Passage and Petrovsky Boulevard.

Since Kuznetsov himself lived in Khlyudov's house on Teatralny Passage, he planned to use the acquired estate as a source of income. The main house of the estate was converted for renting apartments, and in 1905, construction of public baths began on the site of the large garden, designed by architect A. Erikhson.

Kuznetsov demolished the wooden buildings at the southern boundary of the plot and built a two-story building in the Art Nouveau style with a three-story central part and a semi-basement. It was also decided to reconstruct the existing two-story stone granaries built by the Zhilin merchants in the 1860s and connect them to the new building. The baths on Malaya Kadashevskaya Lane also became known as the "European" baths.

The layout of the first and second floors was identical: there were women's and men's halls, hairdressers, massage rooms, cash desks, and other premises. The semi-basement housed rooms for staff, a boiler room, a heater room, and workshops.

In 1914, F. P. Kuznetsov built a five-story apartment building on the property, the facade of which faced Ordynsky Dead End, and soon added another floor. By this time, the old merchant estate had finally turned into a rental property, with the public baths building at its center.

After the revolution, according to the memories of descendants, F. P. Kuznetsov lived in one of the rooms of his apartment building on Ordynsky Dead End. During the Soviet era, the Kuznetsov (now Kadashevsky) baths retained their function until the 1990s, except for part of the building that was allocated for workshops in the 1970s.

In the 1990s, the main house of the estate was vacated and restored. It now houses the social service center of the Yakimanka district. The building of the former baths was adapted into lofts for the residential complex "Kadashevskaya Sloboda" after restoration.
