Writers' House in Lavrushinsky Lane, Literary residential building in Lavrushinsky Lane, Moscow, Russia

The Writers' House features distinctive architectural elements across its eight floors, incorporating both residential apartments and common spaces for literary activities.

The building housed numerous distinguished Russian writers, including Agniya Barto, Konstantin Paustovsky, and Ilya Ilf, who contributed to Soviet literature's development.

Located near the Tretyakov Gallery, the Writers' House maintains its residential function while hosting literary events and preserving memorial apartments of notable authors.

The building incorporates 17th-century chambers in its courtyard, which now function as the Moscow Streltsy Museum, connecting different periods of Russian history.
