Romanov lane 3c6

A complex of residential houses in the eclectic style, owned by A.D. Sheremetev, was erected in Romanov Lane, 3 in 1895-98, designed by architect A.F. Meisner (previously there was a mansion on this site, in which the composer A.S. Arensky lived and worked from 1890 to 1895). Houses located at: Romanov Lane, house 3, buildings 1, 6, 7 are five-storeyed (including the attic floor), on a high basement. The buildings on three sides cover the front yard, in which the cast-iron fountain has been preserved. The yard is separated from the roadway of the lane by a historical fence with a gate. The side buildings are not symmetrical with respect to the courtyard, the left building (building 1) is stretched along the alley, while the right (building 7) is narrow. The decoration of the complex uses motifs of the French Baroque, Renaissance, and other eclectic elements. The vast courtyard overlooks Romanov Lane and is closed by an original fence. The house, located in the very center of the capital, has always been inhabited by eminent residents. Until the October Revolution of 1917, the residents of the complex were leading doctors and lawyers of that time, artists of the Moscow Conservatory and the Bolshoi Theater. The famous academician S.S. Nametkin also lived here. After the October Revolution, it began to be used for the residence of senior statesmen, military leaders, scientists of the Soviet state. During the Soviet era, it was called the Fifth House of the Council. The residents of the complex at various times were prominent state and military figures: Zhdanov, Kosygin, Zhukov, Rokossovsky, Voroshilov, Khrushchev, Bulganin, Budyonny, Chuikov, Timoshenko, Malinovsky, Frunze, Myasishchev, Andreev Andrey Andreevich, Barmin Vladimir Pavlovich, Budyonny Semyon Mikhailovich. After Trotsky's expulsion from his apartment in the Kremlin, he found temporary shelter in this house. As of 2014, the house is an identified object of cultural heritage, the process of assigning the status of an object of cultural heritage of regional significance is underway
