The history of this property begins in 1834 when it belonged to titular advisor Y.N. Turunov. At that time, there were two buildings on the site: the main house, a two-story residential building with a gallery on stone pillars, facing what is now Neglinnaya Street, and a wooden wing on Lower Kiselny Lane. In 1844, the main house was rebuilt and received an iron balcony on the second floor. A stone two-story building with a gallery replaced the wooden wing.
In 1876, the estate was acquired by state peasant Alexei Ivanovich Arkhangelsky, who began major renovations and reconstruction. According to the project by architect M.D. Bykovsky, a new three-story building was erected to the left of the old house.
After A. Arkhangelsky's death in 1882, the property passed to his son Mikhail, a Moscow merchant of the second guild. Seven years later, architect O.G. Piotrovich completely reconstructed the house on Lower Kiselny Lane, adding a third floor and uniting all three buildings into a single complex with passage gates to the courtyard. The facades were adorned with eclectic decor featuring stucco garlands under the windows of the second floor and the owner's monogram between the windows of the third floor above the arch.
A stream flows under the building in a collector, one of the unnamed tributaries of the Neglinka River. Before the revolution, various shops were located on the first floor, including a haberdashery hat shop owned by Chistyakov, while the upper floors were rented out as residential apartments.
During the Soviet era, the house housed communal apartments. In the 1990s, the building was renovated and became a site for various institutions. Today, the house is recognized as a historically valuable urban-forming object.
