Gusyatnikov House

The Gusyatnikov House is a 19th—century mansion recognized as an object of cultural heritage of the city of Moscow. Currently, the Tretyakov Gallery is located in the building. On the site of the current buildings, once in the 1630s, there was a rural estate of the weaver Fyodor Gusyatnikov. The halls were built after the Streltsy uprisings, around the 1680s and 1690s. At the end of the 18th century, the halls belonging to the Andronov merchant family of the first guild, which were engaged in the wine trade, were significantly rebuilt and expanded. At the beginning of the 19th century, the building belonged to the state councilor F.S. Golubtsov. In 1822, a small two-storey Empire style house was built on the estate. The central part of the building on the top floor is highlighted by a risalite with a Tuscan veranda consisting of four semi-columns. Initially, the courtyard facade was decorated with side risalits, but in 1832 a two-story extension was added to one of them.
