A two-story residential house, typical of Moscow's construction from the mid-19th century. Its walls are made of brick, but the ceilings remain wooden. The right part of the house is older, while the passageway and the left part of the building were constructed in the second half of the 19th century. In the mid-19th century, the main house of the estate faced the street and belonged to the Moscow merchant Sysoev, but was registered in the name of his wife, Elizabeth Ivanovna. In 1874, the house was divided among several families. Here lived Fyodor Sidorovich Sysoev, a relative of the previous owners, merchant Stepan Savelyevich Lazarev, and Natalia Ilinichna Pesotskaya. This likely led to the completion of the house, which occupied all the space along the street and was divided into three parts.
In the early 20th century, the house passed to merchant Ivan Dementyevich Rebrov, who was involved in the leather business. Rebrov consolidated the fragmented properties, and a leather shop opened in the house, functioning until the 1917 revolution.
The house has remained virtually unchanged and is how it could be seen by parishioners of the Yelokhovsky Cathedral for a hundred years. The building has no decorations: strict window frames and a plain cornice indicate that the owners did not seek to stand out. The house was periodically repaired and painted, and during the Soviet era, shops always occupied the first floor.
