The mansion was built in the late 19th century by architect Anatoliy A. Ostrogradskiy and once belonged to collector and philanthropist Dmitriy I. Shchukin. Dmitriy was one of the sons of Ivan Shchukin, a well-known textile manufacturer in Moscow and a former serf. He actively participated in the cultural elite of the city, supporting artists and sculptors. This very house often hosted gatherings and discussions on art and philosophy of that time. After the Revolution the building was remodeled, and its function changed. In 1944, the building served as a residence for high-ranking naval officers and was informally named House of Sailors. In 2023 the mansion was officially recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
