The wing on Sverchkov Lane, previously known as Small Uspensky Lane, was built in 1789. A building plan from 1863 has been preserved, when the estate was owned by Guards Captain A.M. Zolotarev. This wing is part of the estate, the main house of which is located on Potapovsky Lane, formerly Big Uspensky, house 6.
Originally, the site of the wing housed a courtyard and entrance to the estate. In 1671, the estate was owned by the Guryev brothers, wealthy merchants who built stone chambers that became the foundation of house No. 6. In 1728, Alexey Guryev sold the estate to Rodion Koshelev, the stable master of the Palace Stables Department. The Koshelev family owned it until the 1780s, after which the owners changed frequently: merchant Mikhail Kolosov, English merchant Doughty. They expanded and rebuilt the estate's buildings. The estate survived the fire of 1812, but in 2009 the main house was damaged by fire, while the wing remained intact.
In 1821, Kaluga merchant Pyotr Zolotarev acquired the estate and made it a profitable property by renting out the house and the wing. From 1870, the plot belonged to merchant Vasily Kokorev, who added a story to part of the main house and created a large arch for the entrance to the courtyard. The facades acquired the appearance that has been preserved to this day.
From 1881 until the revolution, the estate was owned by the Abrikosov merchants, known producers of sweets in the Russian Empire. Apartments in the main house and wings were rented out.
The wing on Sverchkov Lane was known for the prestigious boarding house of Pastor L. Ennes from Alsace, which operated from 1845 to 1859. The boarding house accepted children of wealthy merchants and foreign residents of Moscow. Instruction was conducted in German and French. Among the teachers were notable figures such as folklorist A.N. Afanasyev, economic historian I.K. Babst, and mathematician A.Yu. Davidov. Among the graduates of the boarding house were physician Sergey Botkin and historian Vladimir Gerye.
The architectural appearance of the wing combines classical elements and eclecticism of the second half of the 19th century. The building is adorned with a risalit featuring a bricked-up arcade and a symmetrical composition, as well as facade decor with panels and stucco reliefs.
The wing is recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance. Currently, the building houses the Therapeutic and Diagnostic Department of the Scientific and Practical Center for Interventional Cardiology.
