The earliest mentions of the history of this property date back to the first half of the 18th century. From 1737 to 1760, the plot belonged to Major I.P. Fedorov of the Ryazan Dragoon Regiment. Then the ownership passed to his son, Sergeant I.I. Fedorov of the Vladimir Regiment.

In 1766, the plot was sold to Princess N.P. Meshcherskaya, who owned it until 1780. During the fire of 1773, the main house of the Fedorov estate was severely damaged and was dismantled. A new, more modest house was built in its place.

In 1790, when the plot belonged to Second Major D.F. Shchukin, a building was erected that became the basis of the modern house No. 18 on Bolshaya Dmitrovka. This building served as an outbuilding of the main estate house.

In 1832, after several changes of ownership, the estate was acquired by Collegiate Councillor A.I. Pushkevich. Under him, part of the premises, including the outbuilding at the corner of Dmitrovka and Stoleshniki, began to be rented out.

On August 10, 1861, an advertisement appeared in the newspaper "Moscow Vedomosti" announcing the opening of a music store in Moscow under the name P.Yu. Yurgen. It was located at the corner of Stoleshniki Lane and Bolshaya Dmitrovka, in the house of Zaseckiy. Thus began the history of the famous music publishing firm, which initially published sheet music and later musical literature, including scores.

The publishing house was located in Kholov Lane, in the chambers of Deacon Ukrainets. By the early 20th century, Yurgen's stores could be found not only in Russia but also in Europe and America. However, the story began precisely on Bolshaya Dmitrovka. Soon after opening, Yurgen moved the store to a rented house No. 18 on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, where he also settled in furnished rooms on the second floor.

One of the rooms was provided by Yurgen for the office of the Russian Musical Society. Until 1866, all meetings of the society took place here, and this place can be considered the cradle of the Moscow Conservatory. Visitors were received by virtuoso pianist N.G. Rubinstein, who supported Yurgen in his decision to engage in music publishing. Talented musicians and educators such as P.I. Tchaikovsky and N.D. Kashkin often attended the society's meetings. In 1863, Richard Wagner visited the society, conducting three concerts in Moscow that delighted the audience.

Until 1917, the premises of the house, partially occupied by Yurgen's office and workshops, were rented out for shops. In the 1920s, Soviet organizations such as Moskunstprom, Narkomputi, and Sibdalgostorg rented the premises, followed by shops and cafes.

In 1998, the ground subsided on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, and house No. 18 partially collapsed into the formed crevice. The building was restored in 2002. Since then, it has housed a fashion house. The building was recreated from modern materials, with altered decor and increased volume towards the courtyard. The historical layout was restored, but the interiors were lost. Despite the changes, the building has retained its historical and cultural value and is an object of cultural heritage of regional significance.
