Residential House of N.G. Grigoriev

Фото 1
The official name of the cultural heritage site, "Residential House, 19th, early 20th century with the inclusion of an 18th-century structure," reflects its historical significance. The house was built in the 1880s. However, neither scientific catalogs of monuments in Moscow nor historical and architectural studies confirm the presence of 18th-century fragments in it. The facades of the two-story brick building are designed in the eclectic style and harmoniously fit into the old development of the alley.

The facade is adorned with a smooth plinth, a wide inter-floor belt with panels and an entablature. The corners of the building are highlighted with rusticated pilasters, and the center of the main facade features a horizontal attic. The windows on both floors have plastered frames with "ears." The original layout and interiors have been lost, but the building is maintained in good condition and is used as office space.

The estate is first mentioned on a plan from 1758. After a fire, it belonged to the merchants Grachov. Between 1827 and 1837, the ownership was expanded by adding a plot that previously belonged to the petty bourgeois Praskovya Yegorovna Smetanina. In 1884, the estate was sold at auction to merchant Nikolai Grigorievich Grigoriev. In 1886, he received permission to build a two-story wing on the site of the old wooden structures.

Nikolai Grigorievich Grigoriev was an outstanding personality. The owner of a sausage factory in the early 20th century, he is now revered as a local saint and new martyr-confessor. In 2000, he was canonized by the Archbishop of Yaroslavl and Rostov.

Nikolai Grigorievich was born into a serf family and, thanks to his abilities and hard work, achieved success, becoming a merchant of the second guild and an honorary citizen of Moscow. His factory in Kadashi exported products to Western Europe.

In 1878, he purchased a non-operational sausage factory in Zamoskvorechye and made it profitable. His family lived in the buildings at 1st Kadashensky Lane, 10, where his office was located.

After the 1917 revolution, the factory was nationalized, and Nikolai Grigoriev lost all his property in Moscow and was exiled to the Yaroslavl region, where he soon died of starvation.
