The cultural heritage site of federal significance "Residential House, Early 19th Century" is a rare example of wooden construction in Moscow before the fire of 1812.

In the land records of 1804, the property was noted as "courtyards and gardens of various owners." At that time, there were six buildings located around the perimeter of the site on Yelokhovsky Passage. Over time, the old buildings were replaced with new ones. In 1811, when the property belonged to second lieutenant Alexander Demidov, grandson of the famous industrialist and philanthropist Prokofy Demidov, the main house of the estate was built, a two-story building with a mezzanine and two single-story wooden wings. This house remained residential for over a century. Notably, the wooden structure on a stone foundation survived the fire of 1812, which destroyed two-thirds of Moscow's houses.

After 1917, the house came under the management of the Moscow city railways. In the 1960s and 1970s, it housed communal apartments, a dormitory, and various organizations. For several years, the building remained abandoned, and today the question of its restoration has arisen.

In 2019, the long-awaited restoration of the unique wooden mansion with a mezzanine on Yelokhovsky Passage was completed. The work to restore the historical appearance of the monument lasted 3.5 years. During this time, not only the facades of the building were updated, but also the interiors of the rooms. In particular, decorative elements were restored, the log structure was reinforced, the white stone belt was recreated, and the wooden staircase was restored.
