The house of college advisor G.A. Palibin, located on Plyushchikha in the former Dolgoy Lane, is one of the oldest wooden structures in Moscow. This monument of Moscow wooden Empire was built in 1818. The one-story house with a mezzanine, facing the street, attracts attention with its facade, executed in the style of late Moscow classicism. It features numerous stucco decorations, such as gorgons, palmettes, and ichthyocentaurs, as well as a vertical niche between two risalits. It is possible that one of the 'model facades' developed after the 1812 fire by a commission led by O. Bove was used in its construction. This miniature mansion with a garden and outbuildings allows us to understand the life of a small noble family in the early 19th century.

The Palibin house is also associated with Savva Yamshchikov, a renowned historian and publicist, who was the chairman of the Association of Restorers of Russia and made significant contributions to the preservation of Russian culture. His daughter, Marfa Yamshikova, recalls that Savva Vasilyevich felt comfortable in this house and enjoyed hosting guests there, inviting them to exhibitions.

In 1847, the house was reconstructed: the rear part with the mezzanines was demolished, and a new, larger volume was built in its place. Ten years later, a gallery was added on the western side from the main entrance to the line of the lane. On the other side, there was a symmetrical gallery with a false entrance, which has not survived.

In the 1980s, the house underwent thorough restoration. Under layers of felt and plaster, rare Empire-style hand-painted wallpaper was discovered. This wallpaper adorned wealthy homes and palaces, and its presence in an ordinary Moscow mansion was a surprise. Beneath the wallpaper, a layer of paper with documents written in brown ink was found, likely part of a discarded archive from the Land Survey Office, where the house's owner served. Restorers were unable to separate the painted paper from the backing to avoid damaging the wallpaper.

Under the wooden staircase, a stove with bright tiles was found, covered with old newspapers. The tiles survived after the old stoves were replaced with new white tiled ones in the mid-19th century. The old tiles were not discarded but used to clad the inconspicuous stove under the staircase.

During the restoration, half-rotten rafters and ceiling beams were replaced, basement walls were reinforced, and window and door structures were restored.
