The historic district of Moscow, Zayauzye, is part of the Earth City. Initially, merchants settled here, attracted by the proximity of river docks and mills at the mouth of the Yauza. Following them, craftsmen from the Great Posad, such as blacksmiths and potters, moved here. They needed water for their work, and the river served as reliable protection against fires. Thus, in the 16th-17th centuries, the Pottery Palace Sloboda emerged, as confirmed by the old street names: Goncharna Embankment, Goncharny Passage, and others.

Until mid-1810, there was a property in this area belonging to a small calico factory. By the beginning of the 19th century, the boundaries of the properties were mostly defined. On the plan from the early 1820s, the plot had a trapezoidal shape. The only stone building belonged to Moscow merchant Avdotya Brekhova and was located in the northeast corner of the block.

According to the inventories of 1834, the land belonged to Moscow merchant Artemy Andreevich Chicheryov. Along the eastern boundary were wooden structures of a stable and carriage house. The plot was divided into two zones: residential in the north and factory in the south. The architectural design of the residential building included elements of the Empire style.

In 1849, the wooden factory buildings in the southwest were demolished, and a one-story stone building was constructed in their place, which was raised to two stories in 1863.

From 1859-1860, the property belonged to merchant Dmitry Semyonovich Sopov. During this time, the factory area was organized, with many wooden structures dismantled. The layout of the plot remained almost unchanged until the 1910s.

In the residential zone, there were a two-story house with an attic and basement, a guardhouse, a wooden stable, and a carriage house. Between the plots was a small garden facing 1st Goncharny Lane. Opposite the garden along the Moscow River embankment stood a one-story wooden wing, which was dismantled in the mid-1860s. After reconstruction, a few buildings remained: two two-story factory buildings and a residential brick house, which have not survived.

In 1866, it was planned to convert part of the basements of the residential building into living quarters. In 1873, the building adjacent to the southern boundary was reconstructed, increasing the height of the stone walls. In 1878, the main residential volume was reconstructed, replacing the wooden gallery and extensions with a two-story stone house. The new facade was designed by architect Drittenpreis in an eclectic style with classical elements characteristic of Moscow in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1877, a stone fence with gates and a wicket was built according to the same architect's project. In the northwest corner next to the main house, a small one-story stone volume was designed, likely a guardhouse.

In 1897, the land belonged to Moscow merchant N.I. Gornostayev, and in 1899 it passed to Maria Osipovna Savelieva. Under her ownership, a two-story stone building for a laundry and ironing room appeared on the southern boundary of the plot.

As a result of urban planning changes in the 1930s-1950s, most of the factory buildings were demolished, and a nine-story residential building was constructed along Goncharna Embankment.

In 1984, reconstruction work began on the building, limited to dismantling partitions and replacing ceilings. In 1994, the reconstruction resumed to adapt the building for a bank. The facades were restored, and the ceilings were replaced with reinforced concrete. The external dimensions of the building were preserved, and the attic space was adapted for workspaces with skylights, installing windows in the roof. The territory was landscaped and enclosed with a metal fence.
