The city estate of the 18th and 19th centuries, owned by the families of Lodyzhensky, Zagryazhsky, and Rukavishnikov, is located behind the Stalinist skyscraper of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Denezhny Lane, which was called Vesnin Street a quarter of a century ago. Over more than 200 years of existence, the estate has changed many owners, most of whom were nobles.

The lane, connecting Bolshoy Lyovshin Lane and Arbat, is famous for its many interesting mansions. The main house of the estate (Denezhny Lane, house 3, building 1) plays an important role in shaping the historical appearance of the lane and forms a single ensemble with the federal architectural monument "House of the Palace Department" on Bolshoy Lyovshin Lane, 8/1.

Since 1770, the plot belonged to the Lodyzhensky family. The first wooden buildings appeared here in 1782. The mansion with the wing (Denezhny Lane, house 3, building 2) was built in the 18th century and has been rebuilt multiple times. The total area of the estate is about one thousand square meters, including the basement. During restoration in the 21st century, it was established that the main house was built no later than 1787, and the wing in 1789-1790. In 1799-1800, a stone extension was added to the wing.

It is likely that the estate did not suffer in the fire of 1812. By the autumn of 1814, its owner was Countess Daria Petrovna de-Kenson, who rented out the house.

In 1835, Captain Dmitry Ivanovich Mikulin divided the estate into two parts, selling the larger part to the state. The wing remained with him, and in 1837 it passed to Nadezhda Andreyevna Zagryazhskaya, who expanded it. Under Zagryazhskaya, the facades of the main house were adorned with cornices and rustication, as well as windows, architraves, and masks.

In 1850, Mavra Egorovna Bykhovets completed a one-story wooden house. From 1871, the estate was owned by Fyodor Vasilyevich Shidlovsky, and from the 1880s, by the Rukavishnikov spouses, who carried out reconstruction in 1911 under the guidance of Vladimir Petrovich Drittenpreis. A third floor was added, but the facades from the 1830s were preserved.

After the October Revolution, the external appearance of the estate changed little. In the 2000s, it fell into a state of disrepair, but restoration, completed in March 2019, returned it to its former beauty. Structures were reinforced, emergency elements were replaced, and the facade decor was restored.

Currently, the estate is used as an administrative-office building and is a cultural heritage site.
