Калабуховский дом, Art Nouveau building in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia
The five-story residential building at 24 Prechistenka Street features a rusticated ground floor and tall windows joining the second and third floors.
Architect Semyon Kulagin designed this residential building in 1904, which initially had four floors before the fifth floor addition in the late 1900s.
The building gained recognition as Professor Preobrazhensky's residence in Mikhail Bulgakov's novella 'Heart of a Dog', inspired by the author's uncle who lived there.
The structure contains apartments with high ceilings, marble staircases, and original wooden features from the early twentieth century construction period.
The phrase 'Kalabukhov house is done for' from the novel entered Russian language as an expression signifying the beginning of the end.
