The complex of one-story buildings in Bolshoy Znamensky Lane was built in 1770 for the main member of the Moscow Coin Expedition Yakovlev, the grandfather of the famous writer Herzen. Later, the estate passed into the possession of Prince Lodyzhensky and the Stolypin nobles. In 1831, the state bought a complex of houses for the needs of the First Men's Grad Gymnasium. Gymnasium classes and an office were placed in the new premises. Outstanding Russian historians Soloviev and Pogodin, playwright Alexander Ostrovsky, writer Pyotr Kropotkin, professors Bugaev and Umov studied here. In May 1836, Alexander Pushkin visited the director of Okulov's gymnasium.
