Yaroshenko house, Khitrovka, Regional cultural heritage site in Khitrovka, Moscow, Russia.

The Yaroshenko house, also known as the Khitrovka house, is a three-story building in the Basmanny District of Moscow, built in an eclectic architectural style. The facade combines decorative stonework, patterned details, and ornamental windows drawn from several 19th-century design traditions.

The estate's core is two-storey brick chambers built for the stolnik Emelyan Ivanovich Buturlin in the 1660s; brickwork, window surrounds, a portal and relief tiles from that period were uncovered during restoration. In 1824 the neighbouring plot to the east became Khitrovskaya Square, and between 1836 and 1866 two L-shaped trading rows of the Khitrov market rose along Podkolokolny Lane. The present appearance dates from the 1880s, under the last owner Elizaveta Platonovna Yaroshenko.

The facade of the Yaroshenko house shows how wealthy residents of 19th-century Moscow used decorative stonework and ornamental windows to signal their status. Walking past it today, you can still read those social ambitions directly in the carved details and layered ornaments on the exterior.

The building is in the Basmanny District, within walking distance of several metro stations, and is best seen as part of a stroll through Khitrovka. The surrounding streets contain other 19th-century buildings, so exploring the area on foot gives a fuller picture of the neighborhood.

In the courtyard stands the two-story stone chamber of stolnik Emelyan Buturlin, with 1660s brickwork, fragments of window surrounds and a portal, and relief tiles uncovered by restorer Georgy Evdokimov. The building is listed under a composite registry name that joins the 1860s–1880s trading rows of P. V. Stepanov and the Yaroshenko lodging house with Buturlin's chambers.
