The manor house in question is located closer to the Stary Monety Lane on the right side and offers a beautiful view of the Bolshoy Tolmachevsky Lane. The name Tolmachevsky Lane is associated with the settlement of translators, or tolmaches, which appeared in Zamoskvorechye as early as the 14th century. The lane ends with a beautiful church dedicated to Pope Clement I, visible in the distance. This indicates that we are in the historical district of Moscow, Zamoskvorechye. Let's consider the restored estate, from which the main house has been preserved and beautifully restored.
The house is a one-story stone structure with adjoining gates and a separate stone gate. In the center of the building is a small risalit, topped with a triangular pediment under which lies a decorative frieze. The risalit has three windows, separated by narrow fluted pilasters and united above by a shaped architrave, giving the windows a Venetian appearance. Below the windows is a apron with two small consoles, "ears," and a rosette in the middle. The basement is designed in the form of rustication.
The gates in the form of pylons are topped with a shaped attic. A plaque on the house indicates that this is the house of the city estate of the Medyntsevs. The architecture of the house suggests that it was built after the Moscow fire of 1812, reconstructed in the 1850s, and its decor contains elements of eclecticism.
The house remained in neglect for a long time, waiting for its moment. In 2015, it underwent restoration: the walls were reinforced, the ceiling beams were replaced, a new roof was installed, windows were inserted, and the decor was restored. The house is painted yellow with white details, harmonizing with the neighboring mansions.
Currently, the house houses the Representation of the Altai Territory.
