History
The property was built in 1804 by Andrey Petrovich Sytin and survived the great Moscow fire of 1812. The building remained largely intact through this critical period.

The mansion displays classical architectural features typical of early 19th century Moscow. The symmetrical design and ornamental details reflect the refined tastes of the wealthy families who lived in this district.
Practical
