History
At the end of the 19th century, Levenson invited Fedor Schechtel to complete the project of his summer residence, which Schechtel accepted. At that time, Shekhtel had already departed from the fascination with Gothic and was trying to find his “Russian style” in architecture.
The building was built in 1900 [4] on a hill, among greenery, above the river, and behind the coastal thickets of alder - the domes of the Transfiguration Church [5] . In 1901, at the Glasgow International Exhibition, Schechtel built several “pavilion towers” resembling a project in Peredelkino [6] .
After the revolution, until the 1980s, 8-12 families lived in the country. During the years of perestroika, the house was empty and needed restoration, which was carried out by the Main Directorate for the Protection of Monuments in 1994-1997.
Currently, the cottage - the residence of the ambassador of Syria , is located in a closed territory. You can get to the building with a guided tour, but you cannot get inside the house: the tour is limited only to visiting the house from the outside. There is a room in the house with documents telling about its history and fate [7] .
In 2012, Levenson's cottage became a subject of protection as an object of cultural heritage of federal significance “Levenson Cottage, 1900s, arch. Shekhtel F.O. ”, located at the address: Moscow, Chobotovsky pr., Bld. 4, p. 1, adopted by the state guard by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of February 20, 1995 No. 176“ On approval of the list of historical and of cultural heritage of federal (all-Russian) significance ”, the borders of the territory and the legal regime for the use of land plots are approved by order of the Federal Service for Supervision of Legislation on the Protection of Cultural Heritage of December 28, 2010 No. 469, according to Appendix [8] .
