Trading house of the Moscow Merchant Society, Architectural landmark in Tverskoy District, Russia

The Trading House features large windows across its facade, vertical pilasters with decorative reliefs, and rounded corners beneath an elegant cornice.

Built between 1909 and 1911 by architect Fyodor Shekhtel, the building replaced a former monastery residence that dated back to the 17th century.

The structure reflects the economic power of Moscow merchants, who used it for commercial offices and storage spaces during the early 20th century.

Located at the intersection of Maly Cherkassky Lane and Novaya Square, the building maintains its original architectural elements as a federal heritage site.

The building incorporates ancient Greek theatrical masks and Medusa sculptures within arched niches at its uppermost level.

Location: Tverskoy District

Inception: 1909
