At the corner of Bolshoy Zlatooustinsky Lane and Maroseyka Street in the 17th century stood the Little Russian Courtyard, which along with the tavern "Malorossiyskaya" gave the street its name, previously known as Pokrovka. In the mid-17th century, there were two courtyards of deacon Andrey Nemirov, which later passed into state ownership and became the Little Russian Courtyard.
On January 12, 1670, the tsar issued a decree stating that Cossacks and townspeople from Little Russian cities arriving in Moscow for business and with goods had to register at the Little Russian office and stay at the Little Russian courtyard.
In 1872, architect A.L. Ober built a four-story apartment building with shops on the first floor, which was completed in 1896 by architect I.P. Zalesky. This building housed the famous Moscow store A.F. Dyutfuas, which sold glassware produced at the factory in Butyrki.
On the city plan of 1716, the "Maroseyskaya" pharmacy is noted, which operated until the arrival of Soviet power. In 1826, there was an optical shop of Pristley, in 1885, a theatrical printing house and a shop for bronze sconces, chandeliers, and pendants by R. Kolbe. In March 1851, a well-known gastronomic establishment of merchant Pyotr Belov opened with a golden sign in the shape of a pig's head, becoming one of the best in the city. Mikhail Alexandrovich Saltykov, known as a Voltairean and liberal, lived here. Poet Alexander Pushkin visited this place on January 20, 1831, to inform Saltykov of the death of his son-in-law and Pushkin's lyceum friend, Anton Delvig.
Today, the building is a monument to literary Moscow. On the first floor, there is a cosmetics store, and on the three upper floors, a jazz club of the famous saxophonist Alexey Kozlov.
To the right of the entrance to the club, on the mosaic panels of the first floor between the windows of the cosmetics store, you can see the Latin letter D, the symbol of Dyutfuas.
