The therapeutic building is part of the historical ensemble of the city clinic for nervous diseases, founded by Dr. L.S. Zeitlin and built between 1912 and 1914 by the outstanding architect E.V. Shervinsky in the neoclassical style. The project of the sanatorium was published in the Yearbook of the Moscow Architectural Society for 1914 and immediately received high praise from contemporaries: "This is one of the best structures in Moscow in the neoclassical style in its most perfected and simultaneously intimate form. The sanatorium is surrounded by a remarkable French park with a gazebo, parterres, and rows of curtains."

The location for the sanatorium was chosen deliberately: around the Don Monastery, by the beginning of the 20th century, several charitable medical and educational institutions had emerged. In the northern part of the block, a School for the Blind was built, next to it, the Arnold School for the Deaf. The southern part was occupied by the "Private Asylum for the Mentally Ill of N.N. Bazhenov and L.S. Zeitlin," which became the successor to the well-known Becker psychiatric hospital. Here, N.N. Bazhenov, an outstanding Russian psychiatrist, worked under the founder of the Moscow psychiatric school, Professor S.S. Korsakov. Today, this institution is called the "Scientific and Practical Psychoneurological Center named after Z.P. Solovyov."

The ensemble features geometrically correct planning. Three main historical buildings are located to the left of the central axis.

Building 7 faces Donskaya Street with its main facade, where the main entrance to the hospital was intended. The facade is adorned with a portico of six Corinthian half-columns and a complexly profiled cornice with a smooth architrave and triangular pediment. The windows of both floors are decorated with framed casings, the first-floor windows are designed with fan-shaped locks, while those on the second floor are set in shallow niches. The walls on both sides of the portico are treated with rustication. To the right of the portico, the original metal canopy above the entrance has been preserved.

The main (northwest) facade and canopy fully correspond to the depiction in the engraving from 1914, as does the fountain in front of the entrance, which was likely built on the site of the original historical one in 1914.

It is noteworthy that the building has retained its historical layout. Most likely, the first floor had a ceremonial purpose: there was a hall with paired columns of the Tuscan order in the center. In some rooms, plaster moldings, original panel doors with glazed transoms, metal stair railings with wooden handrails, dolomite steps, and Mettlach tiles on the stair landings have been preserved.
