On the shore of the Vlahernsky pond, at the end of the Poplar Alley of the Kuzminki estate, lies the Cattle Yard, also known as the Dairy Farm. The site for this building was chosen during the Stroganovs' time, and the surviving buildings date back to the 1840s and were designed by architect Alexander Zhilyardi.

The Dairy Farm is a one-story building in the shape of the letter P with two-story side wings. The one-story premises housed stables, a cow barn, and storage rooms. The wings were intended for the accommodation of grooms and cattlemen.

In the center of the Cattle Yard, a cross-shaped pavilion was built, presumably for the residence of one of the family members of the estate's owner. This building was finished with luxury: the rooms had parquet floors, Dutch stoves, and the walls were covered with Flemish fabric. Originally, the building had balconies, and sculptures of bulls, made according to sketches by Baron P. Klodt, were installed on the sides.

In 1837 and 1838, opposite the Cattle Yard, across the Upper pond, a Pontoon Bridge was built according to A. Zhilyardi's design. This floating structure, arranged on boats or pontoons, connected this part of Kuzminki with buildings on the other bank, such as the pier and the Propylaea pavilion. The bridge was used only in summer, and in autumn it was dismantled to avoid obstructing the ice flow in spring. In 1843, the bridge was rebuilt on piles and remained in that form until the beginning of World War I.

In 1889, the Cattle Yard in Kuzminki was abolished and transferred to the Moscow County Zemstvo for the expansion of the Vlahern Hospital, which operated until 1978.

Today, the Cattle Yard is a monument of architecture.
