One of the most beautiful pre-revolutionary mansions in Moscow is considered to be the former Loan Treasury building, located on Nastasyinsky Lane and owned by the Central Bank. Its construction began in 1913 on the orders of Emperor Nicholas II, who decided to erect a new building in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. The emperor personally approved the project developed by renowned architects Vladimir Pokrovsky and Bogdan Nilus. The building was designed in the neo-Russian style with elements of Moscow modernism and baroque.

Construction on Nastasyinsky Lane was completed in 1916, and a masterpiece of Russian architecture was revealed to the public. Thanks to an eclectic approach, the mansion acquired the appearance of an ancient Russian terem with baroque elements reminiscent of the old church in Dubrovitsy. The facade was adorned with double-headed eagles and the date of construction.

However, the Loan Treasury did not remain in this building for long. After two state coups, the Bolsheviks transferred it to the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. In the following years, it housed the Gokhran, where confiscated property was stored. In 1941, the building passed to the State Bank, and now it belongs to the Central Bank. In the 1990s, it was restored, returning the double-headed eagles to the facade that had been removed during the Soviet era. Unfortunately, access to the former Loan Treasury mansion for tours is closed, and requests to open access to this architectural masterpiece remain unanswered. The interiors can only be seen in photographs.
