The facade of the mansion combines elements of Art Nouveau and Neoclassicism, the white columns under the symmetrical pediment, the rusticated arch and antique reliefs are typical of pre-fire Moscow of the XVII century. Above the arch there is a bas-relief with a copy of the frieze of the Athenian Parthenon, the house was guarded by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and 4 muses — sculpture, painting, architecture and music. Shekhtel's family lived in the house for 7 years, the younger son of Shekhtel, painter Lev Zhengin, was a guest of the creative intelligentsia of Moscow, poet Vladimir Mayakovskiy, philosopher Pavel Florensky, avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova. In 1918 the mansion was nationalised, and after the revolution the house was home to the statesman Eidemann. In the early 40s of the XX century the house housed a nursery, and after the war and until 1957, an orphanage. By 1990 the house was abandoned and completely lost its interior decoration.
