Widows House, Federal cultural heritage building in Presnensky District, Russia.
The Widows House stands along Barrikadnaya Street, displaying Empire style architecture with classical motifs, grand columns, and symmetrical proportions.
The construction of this governmental structure began in 1803 during a period of architectural development that introduced Empire style elements to Moscow's landscape.
This building represents a significant example of early 19th-century Russian architecture, combining traditional design elements with Empire style influences.
The Widows House remains accessible through multiple Moscow metro stations, with the nearest being Barrikadnaya on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line.
The structure initially served as a residence for widows, establishing a social support system that was uncommon for its time in Russian society.
