of the 19th Century
Cultural heritage site

1802
History
In 1802, Colonel A. N. Ozerov built a house on Pokrovka Street, at the intersection with Kolpachny Lane. Later,
the estate passed to the Molchanov family. During this period, the house was connected with the cultural
and public life of the district: one of its owners contributed to the construction of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazeh by the Pokrovsky Gates. According to some sources, the façade of the house was decorated with sculptures by I. P. Vitali.
In the 19th century, the well-known Minder’s Pokrovskaya Pharmacy was located on the ground floor. Later,
the estate plot was supplemented by a single-storey shop building, and at the end of the 19th century the complex passed to the Olovyanishnikov merchant family.
During the Soviet period, communal apartments were housed in the former A. N. Ozerov House, followed later
by commercial banks. Today, the Urban Mansion of A. N. Ozerov, the Molchanovs, and the Olovyanishnikovs
is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
The estate interiors have been almost entirely lost; only fragments of stucco decoration have survived
to the present day.
Concept
The main objectives were to restore the preserved interior elements and organize
a modern functional space within the mansion.
2020
period of design and implementation
A contemporary office was designed in the historic mansion. The architectural bureau carried out
a thorough study of the preserved historic layers and rare Moorish-style stucco molding. Based on the cleaning
of the remaining historic stucco molding and the study
of comparable examples in other Russian estates, complex interior solutions were developed and a rare color palette was selected.
