The mansion with a facade decorated with snow-white architraves was built in 1905 according to the project of architect Mikhail Kulchitsky. The mansion was built on the site of the former house of foreman Novosiltsev, who gathered members of the populist circle 'Chaikovtsy' there. The mansion was also visited the revolutionary Peter Kropotkin. In 1895, the equipment of an underground printing house was transported to Novosiltsev's house, and this equipment was found on the Mandelstams' land plot near the walls of the Novodevichy Convent. The order for construction of a new residential building on this land plot was made by Elizaveta Efron, who was the mother of Sergei Efron, a well-known writer and publicist, the husband of the poetess Marina Tsvetaeva. Today, the mansion is not recognized as an object of cultural heritage.
