Malaya Nikitskaya Street took shape in the 17th century, with the first reference to the mansion dating back to the mid-18th century. The plot was at various times owned by the princely Volkonskiy family, as well as lieutenants and captains of the Life Guards, the Samburov family, and others. The original estate complex suffered severe damage in the fire of 1812. In 1816, under Praskovya Golostenova, wife of a lieutenant colonel and admiralty commissioner, a new estate was built, with the main house forming the basis of the mansion at 25 Malaya Nikitskaya Street. The building acquired its neoclassical appearance in 1862 under Alexandra Kalvina, wife of a merchant from Yelets. Richly decorated with refined detailing and a harmonious color palette, the mansion stands out against the cohesive historic development of the street and remains a striking example of 18th-century neoclassicism to this day.
