Kuznetsov revenue house, Moscow, Architectural landmark in Krasnoselsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Kuznetsov Revenue House is a multi-story residential building from the early 20th century located in the Krasnoselsky District of Moscow. Its stone facade is divided by geometric ornaments and relief details typical of Russian eclectic architecture of that period.
The building was put up in 1908, at a time when Moscow was expanding quickly and needed new housing forms for the urban middle class. It belongs to a series of rental houses built along the city's main streets during those years to meet growing demand.
The building sits on a street long associated with trade and city life, and its layout still reflects the typical division of a tsarist-era rental house, with shared staircases and separate apartments. Anyone who looks closely at the entrance and facade can see how architecture was used to mark the boundary between public and private space.
The house stands on Myasnitskaya Street, one of central Moscow's main roads, and is easy to reach on foot from the metro. As a protected heritage site, its facade and entrance area are visible from the street and worth a short stop.
The inner walls of the stairwells still carry traces of the original tile and plasterwork, showing how much care was given to the shared areas of the building. These details are rarely found in such good condition in Moscow rental houses from this period.
