Mansion of Chizhov, Federal cultural heritage site in Staromonetny Lane, Moscow, Russia
The Mansion of Chizhov features Empire style architecture with a central portico, stucco bas-reliefs, and wrought iron gates between the main house and left wing.
Built in the early 19th century, this mansion incorporates earlier structures and served as home to the Lithosphere Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences during Soviet times.
Memorial plaques on the service building honor notable academics including A.V. Sidorenko, N.A. Bogdanov, and A.L. Yanshin who contributed to geological research.
The mansion currently houses the Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and maintains its original exterior appearance except for modifications to lower floor windows.
The property retains its 19th-century metal umbrellas above porches and restored wooden gates with period-specific carved decorative elements.
