Detailed description
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the estate belonged to the ancient noble family of the Kolychevs, but in the early 1750s it was sold to Sergei Svinyin. The house was three storeys high with a porch and two wings on either side of it, between which was the main entrance to the estate. Later, the estate passed to Svinyin's son, he rented it out. At first there was a Moscow men's gymnasium in it, and since 1843 the rooms of the old manor house were rented to employees of the royal court, in the late 1880s the house was acquired by citizen I. P. Kulakov. There were flophouses, inns, brothels, pubs, shops and offices. In the early 1920s, it was decided to demolish the flophouses. In 1922, the former manor was almost completely lost. In 1925, the building was rebuilt and expanded to five floors. The structure of the building, including the undeveloped courtyard space, remains unchanged today. The "iron house", which was rebuilt, is still residential. The building is now under state protection and is part of a cultural heritage site.
