Bolshoy Tolmachevskiy Lane takes its name from a settlement of interpreters, referred to in Russian as “tolmachs.” These appeared in Zamoskvorechye as early as the 14th century. In the early 17th century, the lane was known as Nikolayevskaya Street, named after the wooden Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachy that once stood here. The villa was originally part of an empire-style mansion built in 1817 for sub-lieutenant Ekaterina S. Lobkova. The main building is an example of Moscow Empire architecture and is integrated into the architectural ensemble of Zamoskvorechye. Originally, the mansion was a two-story stone structure with a wooden mezzanine. Its main facade faced Bolshoy Tolmachevskiy Lane. The property included entrance gates and a wicket gate. In the 1850s, additional wings were added on the courtyard side. In 1852, the house passed into the ownership of the Medyntsev merchants. From 1861, it was owned by the Losev merchants. They carried out a reconstruction of the building, adding a loggia and a decorative top. Today, the building is restored and recognized as a cultural heritage site of federal significance.
