The Empire-style mansion is one of the chambers of the Kozhevnicheskaya Sloboda, which are mentioned in the chronicle of 1547. Kozhevnicheskaya Sloboda was inhabited by artisans engaged in leather dressing. There are a number of ancient chambers that survived until the beginning of the 17th century. Leather production did not stop and continued to affect the appearance of the area. The first owner of the mansion at the modern address 'Kozhevnicheskaya Street 22' was a Suzdal merchant Ivan Lichonin. The building had a brick extension and windows with arched openings facing the courtyard. The mansion survived two fires, after which the vaults were rearranged, and the facades acquired a classic look of the Moscow Empire. This building is a striking example of the architecture of the 17th century.
