Three capital houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been included in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Sites. Among them are the mansion of E.F. Lopatina on Maly Karetny Lane (building 11, building 1), the mansion of A.V. Demidov on Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street (building 17, building 1), and the mansion of N.V. Urusova on Denezhny Lane (building 16, building 1). Previously, they had the intermediate status of identified cultural heritage sites.

The two-story residential building with a basement and attic in Maly Karetny Lane was built in 1889 by order of peasant Ekaterina Lopatina and according to the design of architect Yakov Makhonin. In 1912, the property on which this house is located was acquired by Yakov Alshvang, a first guild merchant and hereditary honorary citizen. He developed part of the territory of his property as a production zone and opened a sewing factory. After 1917, the experimental technical sewing factory No. 5 named after Profintern (VSNKh) was located here.

The house of Ekaterina Lopatina is classified as an eclectic architectural style. Rich stucco decor has been preserved on the main facade of the building. Its high window openings are decorated with triangular and bow-shaped sandriks on brackets, they are decorated with stucco in the form of wreaths and garlands. On the facade, you can see a soffit cornice with denticles (teeth) that rest on brackets with lion masks and mascarons. The front entrance is decorated with a cast-iron canopy. A gate with a wicket adjoins the main facade.

Another mansion, recognized as an architectural monument, is located on Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street. It has two floors with a semi-basement. The building was erected in 1912, also in the eclectic style, according to the design of the architect Konstantin Razumov for the textile manufacturer Alexander Demidov.

This house has a complex architectural form. In its appearance, you can see features of both neo-Gothic, such as a pediment with a gable end, and Art Nouveau: mosaic inserts, reliefs, panels, decorative metal elements. The main facade of the house faces the Garden Ring.

The interior decor in neoclassical style with eclectic elements has been well preserved to this day: wood paneling, ornamental paintings, coffered ceilings made of bog oak in the lobby and dining room, bas-reliefs, stucco and carved stone decor, artificial marble finishing. Built-in furniture in individual rooms has also been preserved.

Another example of eclecticism, which also received a new protected status, is a one-story mansion with a semi-basement floor on Denezhny Lane. It was built in 1899 as a residential building for Natalia Urusova according to the design of the architect Karl Treiman.

The historical design of the building’s facades in the neoclassical style has been well preserved. The interiors of the house are made in the eclectic style: stucco and drawn plaster decor, tinted ornamental reliefs with plant motifs, relief dessus-de-portes (decorative panels above the doors), stucco cornices, lampshades and rosettes, panel parquet. In addition, the building has preserved the historical front marble staircase with marble columns at the base and a metal railing made in the form of a complex pattern, as well as stoves and a marble fireplace. The protected status also applies to the openwork metal fence of the mansion, designed by architect Stanislav Kuchinsky.

Metropolitan Department of Cultural Heritage carries out consistent work to identify cultural heritage sites and their inclusion in the register. Over the past 14 years, more than 700 buildings have been included. The status ensures state protection – such objects cannot be demolished. Their owners and tenants do not have the right to carry out any work without the consent of the city. In addition, they must do everything possible to preserve these buildings.
