In the 19th century, the building had a full upper floor, but after the destruction during the War of 1812, a mezzanine had to be arranged during its restoration. The urban estate, associated with the family of the Khovansky princes, played an important role in Moscow's history. In the early 1830s, the Narishkin family, members of the Northern Decembrists Society, lived in the mansion. In the 1840s, the Khovansky building became famous as a cultural center when writer Nikolai Vasilyevich Sushkov resided in one of the chambers. His house became a meeting place for writers and artists such as Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky, and Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Currently, the building is a cultural heritage site.
