The main building of the building has 24 floors and houses the Ministry of Transport Engineering. There are residential apartments in the side buildings.

Although it seems that the main and side hulls are very similar, their cladding is actually made up of different materials. The main building is covered with natural slabs, each of which is one floor high. And the lining of residential buildings consists of white concrete.

On the site of the high-rise, there used to be the house of Major General Tolya, where Mikhail Lermontov was born. On the left side of the building is the lobby of the Krasnye Vorota metro station. In addition, this house on Krasnye Vorota Square is notable for its location — it is located at the highest point of the Garden Ring.
