Tverskaya street 30/2s1

This 7-storey brick house of pre-revolutionary construction is located on Tverskaya Street - one of the largest streets of the Tverskoy district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. No. 30/2 - corner house, 1860s, based on the chambers of the XVIII century; rebuilt in 1859 by architect N. V. Nikitin. In the 1860s, one of the founders of the Association of Wanderers, the artist V. G. Perov, lived and worked in the house. In this house, the artist painted many of his famous paintings, including "The Funeral of a peasant", "Birdman", "Troika" and others. Here also lived the writer A. I. Litvinov, who devoted a significant part of his work to describing the life of Moscow in the XIX century. The house has a lobby, from which you can go to the Mayakovskaya metro station. In the 2000s, the Moscow authorities had plans to demolish the building and build an eight-story hotel with a corner tower on this site
