The house at Kadashevsky Lane, 10, building 2, is the main structure of the sloboda estate. Its owner was likely a wealthy individual, as two-story stone chambers in the 17th century indicated affluence. The house is located on a prestigious plot opposite the Resurrection Church in Kadashevskaya Sloboda and is adorned with a baroque white stone cornice. It is a cultural heritage site of federal significance.
The modern appearance of the house was shaped by renovations in the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as restoration work in 2004 and 2006. During the restoration, the exterior of the building was recreated to reflect its appearance by 1913, along with the eclectic decor of the late 19th-century facades.
However, a careful observer will notice that the building is much older than it seems. Despite numerous changes, it has preserved its historical layout and has an L-shaped form. The main and northern facades feature pilasters that mark the corners of volumes and the junctions of internal walls, as well as fragments of the white stone cornice.
This is the main building of the Zamoskvorechye estate complex, which has been developing since the 17th century. The first floor has effectively become a semi-basement. The core of the house, the chambers from the mid-17th century on a raised foundation with a Red Porch in the hallway, was built in 1914. The house stands out among neighboring estate buildings due to its significant length along the lane, which it acquired after the southern part was added in the 1740s.
In the late 18th century, a volume in the form of a columnless chamber with vaults was added to the western side of the building. During restoration, fragments of stucco made shortly after the construction of this extension were discovered. Traces of stucco decor remain on the vault of the western chamber. In 1913, a two-story volume for residential apartments was added to the chambers from the courtyard, dismantling the remnants of the porch.
By 1917, the house was part of the estate of entrepreneur Nikolai Grigoryevich Grigoriev. The neighboring residential building to the north of the chambers (building 1 of house No. 10) was constructed by him in the 1880s. Grigoriev owned a sausage factory on 2nd Kadashevsky Lane, whose products were even exported to Western Europe. Since 2000, he has been recognized as a locally venerated saint in the Yaroslavl Diocese. After the 1917 revolution, the factory was nationalized, and Grigoriev was exiled to the Yaroslavl region, where he died of starvation.
