Дом Орловых-Мещерских, Federal heritage mansion in Arbat District, Russia
The Orlov-Meshchersky House displays neoclassical architecture with a central portico supported by four Corinthian pilasters and ornate façade decorations throughout the structure.
Built in the early 1800s for the noble Orlov family, the mansion underwent reconstruction after the 1812 fire under architect Osip Bove's supervision.
The building housed a private chapel dedicated to Saint Vladimir in its mezzanine level, while the first floor featured a coral-lined grotto.
The mansion stands at the intersection of Romanov Lane and Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street, within walking distance from numerous historical buildings in central Moscow.
Until 1970, the building served as the home of Moscow State University's History Faculty, marking its role in Russian academic development.
