Originally built in the 19th century, the mansion was a two-story house owned by merchant Yeletsky. Between 1896 and 1905, the building underwent significant expansion along its perimeter and was extended with several additional floors, following the design of architect Stezhensky. The facade acquired distinct Art Nouveau features. From 1881 to 1885, the family of the Russian writer Chekhov lived in this mansion, occupying four rooms in the basement. When Anton Pavlovich completed his medical studies at Moscow University, the family moved to an apartment on the second floor, where he placed a sign on the door reading "Doctor A.P. Chekhov". It was in this house that Chekhov wrote the stories Surgery, Chameleon, The Swedish Match, and Fat and Thin. In 1883, the writer Leskov was a guest at Chekhov's apartment.
