Sadovnicheskaya Street is located on an island between the Moskva River and Vodootvodniy Canal. The name of the street comes from the settlement of gardeners who took care of the sovereign's garden. Merchant Andrey Babushkin, a religious person, bought land in the area when the temple of Kozma and Damian was nearby. Andrey Babushkin built a complex consisting of 3 buildings in accordance with project by architect Dmitry Grigoryevich Topazov. The two-storey mansion was part of a profitable property and, most likely, served as a utility house before the revolution, where a laundry was located. Currently, the building is recognized as a cultural heritage site and, thanks to a complete reconstruction, the exterior of the house is as close as possible to the original one.
