This income-generating house belonged to merchant Vasily Egorovich Bykov and was built according to a project by architect Lev Kekushev in 1909. Commercial premises were located on the first floor, while the upper floors were divided into apartments for rent. Starting in the 1970s, residents were gradually evicted, and residential apartments were converted into office spaces. From the 1990s, the building was managed by the Institute of Automation Design of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2012, the building was recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance. After reconstruction, the 'Bykov Income House' won the Moscow Restoration-2021 competition, and the project's restoration architect was awarded for scientific and methodological guidance.
