The city estate of Ya.A. Maslov - A.P. Obolensky

In the middle of the 17th century, the site belonged to a princely family. In 1773, it passed into the possession of State Councilor Ya. A. Maslov. At the end of the 18th century, A. P. Obolensky, the husband of Maslov's granddaughter and a privy councilor, became the owner of the building. During his lifetime, part of the building was rented out. In the 1840s and 1850s, the workshop of N.P. Khitrov and P. Khitrov was located here. In the 1860s, the building was acquired by merchant A.K. Beckers. In 1874, it belonged to the merchant A. N. Pribylov, and after his death, his widow became the mistress of the house. In the second half of the 19th century, the building was renovated several times. Facade decorations such as balconies with elegant grilles and windows have been preserved since the construction period. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Berlin Hotel (later renamed the Paris-England Hotel) was located in the mansion. Today, the Institute of Oriental Studies is located within the walls of this building. The estate is one of the cultural heritage sites of federal significance.
