The mansion formerly served as a storage building for the Baryshnikov-Begichev urban estate, formed in the 18th-19th centuries. The main house of the estate was built according to a project by architect Matvey Kazakov in the 17th century, with service wings and utility annexes added behind it later. At different times, the estate belonged to Colonel Stepan Begichev and Chamberlain Petr Beketov. In the winter of 1823-1824, the writer Alexander Griboyedov, then working on the comedy 'Woe from Wit', stayed in the house while Begichev was its owner. Poets Wilhelm Kyukhelbeker and Denis Davydov, writer Vladimir Odoevskiy, and composer Aleksey Verstovskiy also visited the estate. From the second half of the 19th century, the building housed the Myasnitskaya Hospital, and between 1873 and 1875, the complex was significantly rebuilt under the direction of architect Alexander Meyngard.
