The chambers on Arkhangelsky Lane, which were once the main house of a small estate, were built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The name of the client who commissioned these chambers is unknown, as information about the estate's owners appears in documents only from the mid-18th century. The building, shaped like the letter 'G', is located deep within the plot and faces the main facade towards Arkhangelsky Lane. Previously, residential and utility wings stood along the lane, and behind the chambers was a small garden.

Originally, the chambers were single-story with a low undercroft, which over time became a basement due to the accumulation of cultural layers. In the basement, an ancient chamber with a white-stone vault has been preserved, remaining unchanged after all renovations. The facades of the house were decorated with window frames and pilasters. In the 18th century, the building was reconstructed and expanded, with some walls being rebuilt, but most of the main and side facades remained untouched. During the restoration in the 1970s, elements of the original decor were found and restored.

The owners of the estate were mainly merchants or not wealthy nobles. In the mid-18th century, the estate belonged to Colonel Pyotr Mikhailovich Priklonksy of the guard, who lived in another estate on the same lane. From the 1770s, the estate was owned by the Deyatov merchants, and in 1794 it was purchased by merchant Vladimir Omm. In the early 19th century, the owners changed again, and in 1826 the estate was acquired by Christofor Ioakimovich Lazarev from a prominent Armenian family.

The Lazarevs, wealthy merchants, contributed to the resettlement of Armenians in Russia and the establishment of the Armenian community in Moscow. They financed the construction of the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the creation of the Armenian cemetery. In 1827, Christofor Lazarev donated the estate to the Church of the Exaltation for the needs of the clergy and assistance to poor Armenians. The main house was also used as a residence for spiritual figures of the Armenian faith.

In the 19th century, a wooden terrace was added to the house, and the house itself took on a more modest appearance. The ceremonial rooms were decorated with stucco and paintings. After 1917, church properties were nationalized, and in the 1930s, the Armenian church was demolished. Communal apartments were placed in the house, and only in the late 1970s was restoration carried out. The building is now used for administrative purposes.
