The two-story house on Vyatskaya Street is a vivid example of residential construction in the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century. It is one of the few historical buildings that have survived to this day.

Built in 1909 according to the design of architect Mikhail Cherkasov, the house was commissioned by the manufacturer and merchant Gustav Keller. Keller, being a German subject, owned a factory for producing printing rollers and stores that sold printing supplies, lithographic stones, paints, and fonts. The factory was located in a one-story building next to the mansion, but it has not survived to this day.

Gustav Keller lived in this house until 1914. During the Soviet period, it housed the district committee of the Komsomol of the Timiryazevsky district, and later, the traffic police department.

The facade of the building is asymmetrical. The risalits are decorated with attics featuring triple niches. Large semicircular windows are located on the second floor. The asymmetry of the facade is emphasized by the arrangement of window openings relative to the central axis, framed by rectangular casings and panels. The northern facade has four windows added during the Soviet era.

Architect Mikhail Cherkasov studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture but did not graduate. Since 1894, he was a member of the Moscow Architectural Society and developed projects for several apartment buildings and mansions, predominantly located in the city center. These buildings can be seen on Bolshoy Mogiltsevsky, Staromonetny, and Dayev lanes, as well as on Dolgorukovskaya Street.
