The plot at the intersection of the modern Sverchkov and Devyatkin lanes was once part of a vast estate. The main house, a reconstructed 18th-century chamber, has survived and is now located at 6 Sverchkov Lane. In the 18th century, the estate was owned by V.P. Verderevsky and Prince O.I. Shcherbatov, and in the early 19th century, it belonged to the family of Ivan Ivanovich Tatishchev, an actual state councilor who served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tatishchev is known as a translator from French and German, having participated in the translation of the 'Lexicon of the French Academy' and the 'German-Russian Lexicon.'

The neighboring plot on Devyatkin Lane belonged in the 1810s to the family of architect Matvey Matveyevich Kazakov, son of the famous architect Matvey Fyodorovich Kazakov. He lived here until his death in 1819. In the early 1820s, Tatishchev's heirs divided their property: they kept the part on Sverchkov Lane for themselves and sold the corner part, which contained a garden, to the court councilor Ivan Vasilyevich Lavrentyev. Later, he acquired the neighboring plot on Devyatkin Lane from Kazakov's heirs and combined them.

By order of Lavrentyev, a new main house was built at the corner of the lanes in the style of mature classicism. Its main facade, with an expressive six-column portico, faces Sverchkov Lane, while the second facade, from the side of Devyatkin Lane, is adorned with a more modest portico featuring an Ionic order. Both porticos are topped with triangular pediments and a frieze depicting lyres, cherubs, and climbing plants. The first floor of the house is rusticated; the keystones of the windows are designed as female heads with floral garlands. Above the windows of the second floor and in the pediments are plaster medallions depicting lyres and cherubs, along with garlands of grapevines.

Part of his house was rented out by Ivan Lavrentyev, and for a time, the poetess Yevdokiya Petrovna Rostopchina lived here.

In the 1870s, when the estate was owned by A.M. Povalishin, the main house housed the real school of I.I. Fidler. In the second half of the 19th century, the estate became a profitable property, where apartments were rented out, and a shop was located on the first floor. In the early 20th century, part of the house was occupied by the 1st Myasnitskoye Women's Primary School. The last owners of the estate were the family of secret councilor Sergey Pavlovich Yakovlev.

During the Soviet years, communal apartments were located here, and later, institutions. Currently, the Mosinzhproekt Institute is located here.

The house was restored in the 1960s-70s.
