This house with its elongated facade will leave no one indifferent. It is remarkable for having been extended multiple times along the red line of Bolshaya Ordynka, rather than into the courtyard. The building appeared here after the fire of 1812, when the old house burned down, leaving only the vaulted cellars. Initially, the estate belonged to the noble Petrovsky family, and later it became owned by a relative of the famous Eliseev brothers, who revolutionized trade. The sellers in their stores were known for their attentiveness and care for customers, striving to please everyone, and they approached their work so meticulously that it was impossible to find a single spoiled berry among the bunches of grapes. However, the most famous owner of the mansion was Ivan Alexandrovich Mindovsky, a representative of a dynasty of large entrepreneurs and textile manufacturers from Vichuga. He was passionate about buying and acquired houses, shops, vacant lands, forests, and even factories. Under him, the estate was reconstructed: the facade was adorned with stucco, and a fountain appeared in the courtyard. Architect V. Chagin expanded the house, and in 1905, N.G. Lazarev added service quarters.

Ivan Alexandrovich inherited factories from his father and became one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his time. He was also a well-known public figure and philanthropist, although, according to rumors, he was very stingy. Mindovsky became the prototype for the character Lopakhin in A.P. Chekhov's play 'The Cherry Orchard.'

During the Soviet era, the estate was turned into a kindergarten, and later the editorial office of the newspaper 'Sovetsky Ekran' was located here. The preserved interior was captured in film, and one of the rooms housed Müller’s office from the movie 'Seventeen Moments of Spring.'

The mansion is recognized as a cultural heritage site and has been under reconstruction since 2017.
