Dolgov-Zhemochkins' manor
It is believed that the construction of this merchant estate was carried out by Bazhenov, who was the son-in-law of the future owner of the house Dolgov. As was common at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, a large front yard was arranged in front of the main building of the house, fenced with a lattice fence. The two-storey main house was built in accordance with the basic principles of the architectural style of early classicism. A semicircular white-stone staircase adjoins the eastern part of the house. Initially, the architecture of the building did not differ in excesses: no stucco decorations, porticos. After the famous fire of 1812, the estate was largely rebuilt: a portico was built in the central part, the walls were decorated with stucco molding, after which the building acquired the features of the Moscow Empire style.
After the Dolgov family, Ivan Zhemochkin, a leather manufactory, became the owner of the estate. Before the October Revolution, the building housed a women's gymnasium, during the Soviet Union, the house became residential, and then the Institute of Oriental Studies was located here.
