A dwelling house with mezzanine was built at the border of the 18th and 19th centuries during the reign of Emperor Paul I. The most probably that the author of the project was P.V. Neyelov, a member of the Tsarskoye Selo architect dynasty Neyelovs. Later on among owners and dwellers there were famous names, P.M. Volkonsky, L.V. Tepper de Fergusson, E.I. Liprandi, E.I. Igelstrom, F.I. Plevako, V.I. Vuich, Ye.I. Markevich, the widow of the literary man B.M. Markevich, A.A. Taneyeva (Vyrubova), I.V. Yershov. In 1936-1941 a recreation center of the Leningrad Conservatory was placed here. In WWII the house was damaged by an unexploded bomb which brought through the roof of the mezzanine. Restored works were done in the early 1950s under the direction of A.A. Kedrinsky. The interior of the main hall with two tiers of windows, that was decorated with picturesque handmade wallpapers made at the Tsarskoye Selo Wallpaper Factory, have been restored during the overhaul. Painters I.G. Andreyev, M.M. Shvabsky and Nevadsky recreated the historic painting of the plafond and frieze using saved fragments of wallpapers and photographs. Andreyev, I.G.
