It was situated near the village of Babolovo aside of the Babolovo cutting. In 1780 a wooden house with outbuildings were built there. A stone building with the bathing hall and marble bath was built in 1783-1785 at this place by the architect I.V. Neyelov, the author of bath pavilions in the Catherine Park. The main interiors for resting were painted by F.D. Danilov. Iogann (John) Bush laid out a small landscape garden. In the 1810-1820s the palace and garden were included in the landscape composition of the Babolovo Park newly-created by F.F. Lyamin. In 1824-1829 the bathing hall was rebuilt to the design of V.P. Stasov and under the direction of V.M. Gornostayev for installing the huge bath which was cut out of Serdobolsky granite by the stonemason S.K. Sukhanov’s team. Emperors Alexander I, Alexander II , Nicholas II liked to include the Babolovo palace and park in their walking tours. During the war the palace was destroyed with a fire and has not been restored yet. The bathroom hall with the bricked vault and Sukhanov’s bath have been survived.

Constructing was directed by the architect S.I. Chevakinsky. In 1820-1828 V.P. Stasov rebuilt the building in the Classicism style. The considerable collection of rare exotic plants from America, Africa, India, Spain, the Middle East - coffee trees, cactuses, orange trees, collections of pineapples and laurels- were collected in the hothouse during the time. The garden master Iogan (John) Bush was one of the first scientist keeper of rare plant. In summer time vats with plants were put out in front of the Catherine Palace and along Sadovaya Street. Traditionally gardeners and other workers lived in the hothouse apartments. At different times I. Bush, Alexander I’s favourite F.F. Lyamin, Ch. Cameron, governors of Tsarskoye Selo Leontyev and Ya.V. Zakharzhevsky lived here. In 1933-1934 the architect V.I. Yakovlev adapted the building for the Institute of Dairy Industry. He used an unrealized project of V.P. Stasov.
