In the early 19th century, fields were located where house No. 7 in Sokolniki now stands. In the 1820s and 30s, the area began to be gradually developed, and the surrounding forests, previously used as hunting grounds, were transformed into a recreational park zone for Muscovites.

At this time, along the Kamer-Kollegsky Val, which was the former customs border of the city, a small dacha plot appeared with a wooden house, outbuildings, and a garden. By the end of the 1870s, when the customs post was abolished and the rampart was demolished, the new tenant of the plot, entrepreneur Lianozov, decided to make significant changes. Two wooden houses appeared along the street Oleniy Val in place of the old buildings, and a large wooden courtyard under a canopy, usually used as a warehouse, was built where the garden had been cut down. Lianozov planned to set up a dacha here but then opened a pleasure garden named 'Arcadia.' The proximity of the garden to the main entrance of the Sokolniki Park contributed to its popularity among Muscovites.

The construction in the northern part of the plot was entirely wooden and temporary: restaurants, bowling alleys, open stages, and other structures were dismantled and rebuilt anew. The most significant buildings were the summer theaters. The first open theater appeared in 1892, and in 1909, a closed theater building was constructed on the same site. In the southeastern part, an ice rink was flooded in winter, and in summer, this place was used as a dance floor.

The only permanent building was located in the southern part of the estate. In 1885, a one-story brick building for a jewelry factory was constructed here by order of merchant Ovchinnikov, designed by architect P.N. Ushakov. In 1891, the factory moved, and the premises were converted into a restaurant.

In 1913, the restaurant-variety 'Tivoli' opened in this building. Architect P.P. Dukhovensky expanded the building, adding an auditorium with a stage and artist dressing rooms. The left part of the building was raised with a second floor featuring balconies and boxes. The facade of the building is adorned with an attic with pilasters and false windows, and the two-story part is topped with a decorative pediment.

The 'Tivoli' Theatre was a popular stage venue at the beginning of the century. Actors from the Moscow Art Theatre and the Maly Theatre often performed here. I.N. Ermolyev filmed his movies in the restaurant at the theatre. 'Tivoli' is mentioned in a poem by Boris Pasternak.

The garden and variety existed until 1917. After the revolution, the theatre building was used for political rallies. In 1920, V.I. Lenin spoke here, commemorated by a memorial plaque.

In 1926, the building was converted into a cinema, which operated until 1960. It then came under the management of the Directorate of International Exhibitions. After reconstruction in 1980, several organizations were located here, including the University of Marxism-Leninism and the culture department of the Sokolniki district.

Currently, the building houses the Youth House 'Sokolniki.'
