In the late 17th century, near the Church of the Three Saints on Kulishek, a three-story stone house was built on the former territory of the Golitsyn princes. It likely belonged to the secret advisor Mikhail Semyonovich Pokhvisnev. In 1777, his widow sold the estate to Count Fyodor Osterman. After his death, the ownership passed to his wife Anna Vasilyevna, who bequeathed it in 1806 to her niece Ekaterina Lvovna, the mother of the poet Fyodor Tyutchev. Thus, the early years of Fyodor Ivanovich were spent in this house on Three Saints Lane, where his younger sister Darya was also born. At that time, the main house was a three-story stone building with a grand entrance and a balcony. Two white-stone staircases with six steps led to the second floor. In the courtyard, there were three wooden wings, a carriage shed, a stable with a hayloft, and five wooden buildings with cellars, barns, and granaries.

In 1810, the Tyutchev family moved to Armenian Lane, and the estate in the parish of the Church of the Three Saints was sold to the French viscount François Joseph d'Izarn Villefort. His memoirs about the presence of the Napoleonic army in Moscow in 1812 are well known. During a fire, the estate was damaged, and soon d'Izarn sold it to the noblewoman Kalustova. In 1818, the treasury acquired the property. Initially, the Moscow chief of police was located here, and later, the Meat Market police station with a fire depot. At that time, a wooden fire tower was built over the main house, which was demolished in 1925.

In the late 19th century, the police doctor Dmitry Kuvshinnikov lived in the state apartment under the tower. His wife Sofia Petrovna often hosted prominent cultural figures of the time, such as brothers Anton and Mikhail Chekhov, Isaac Levitan, Ilya Repin, and Maria Ermolova. Dmitry Kuvshinnikov, Sofia Petrovna, and Levitan became prototypes for A. P. Chekhov's story "The Jumping Frog." After the publication of the story, Chekhov was barred from their hospitable home, and Levitan did not speak to Anton Pavlovich for a year.

In the late 1900s, young Vladimir Mayakovsky and Ilya Ehrenburg were held in custody at the Meat Market police station, leaving their memories of that time.

Currently, the main house of the estate houses the National Research University "Higher School of Economics."
