The former Yokish textile factory is a complex of brick buildings spread across several plots that shows 19th century industrial architecture. The different structures were arranged to handle different steps of fabric production.
The factory was founded in 1838 and became a major textile production site in Moscow during the 1800s. It employed many workers and shaped the industrial development of the district.

The site is located in Golovinsky District and is accessible by public routes. Visitors should allow time to walk through all the buildings and see how different areas served different purposes.
Some of the original factory machinery layouts are still visible and show how space was arranged for textile production. These details help explain how work actually happened in the building.
