In the 18th-19th centuries, the building was part of the "Stroganov Dacha" estate, owned by the Stroganov barons from 1751 to 1828. The main house of the estate was located on the northern boundary of the site, while the factory building of interest was on the southern side, separated from the main house by a park. In the second half of the 18th century, still under the Stroganovs, two single-story brick buildings were constructed along the southern boundary of the site for residential and economic needs.

In 1828, the estate passed to the Alexeev merchants, who converted the buildings into a gold thread factory. By the 1830s, the buildings were raised by a second floor, and another building appeared nearby, later connected by a wooden annex to one of the old buildings. In the 1850s, the wooden annex was replaced with a stone one, and the two 18th-century buildings transformed into a single elongated structure 120 meters long. This housed the factory's spinning workshop, kitchen, and other auxiliary rooms. The first known photograph of the factory buildings dates back to 1882. It shows that the buildings were almost devoid of decoration, with windows on the facades spaced every 5-7 meters.

At the end of the 19th century, the site with the Stroganov-Alexeev estate was transferred to the Moscow customs. The former factory buildings housed customs warehouses, which existed here until the 1920s. In the 1930s, reconstruction of the buildings began for administrative purposes, completed in the late 1940s. The long building was raised by a third floor and adorned with decor in the classical style. A risalit with a portico, consisting of paired Corinthian columns and a triangular pediment, appeared on the southern side of the facade. A portico was also added to the northern facade, but without a risalit. The ends of the building received four half-columns and triangular pediments above the second-floor windows, as well as rustication and arched niches on the first floor. The long facades were decorated with vertical pilasters and keystones above the second-floor windows. A photo survey from 1947-1950 shows that the southern risalit with the portico was still under construction scaffolding, likely undergoing finishing work.

The main production of gold thread by the Alexeev merchants in the second half of the 19th century was moved to Malaya Alexeevskaya Street (now Stanislavsky Street). In the early 20th century, the factory was repurposed for the production of cables for telephony and electrification. At that time, the factory director was K. S. Alexeev, known as Stanislavsky and famous as a theatrical figure and director. His cousin, Nikolai Alexandrovich Alexeev, was a well-known city mayor who made significant contributions to the development of Moscow in the 1880s-1890s.

In 2017-2018, the main building was restored and continues to be used as an office building.
