Estate Tatishchev

Acting State Councilor Evgraf Vasilievich Tatishchev , son of the historian Vasily Nikitich Tatishchev , in the second half of the XVIII century was the owner of the land on Petrovsky Boulevard. Here he built a city estate, the ensemble of which included a main house, two outbuildings and a service courtyard building. The author of the project in the style of Moscow classicism is unknown, sometimes the work is attributed to MF Kazakov , we can also assume that this was one of the architects close to him ^[2] .

The estate was inherited by Tatischev's son Rostislav . The new owner decorated the house with paintings, of which he was fond of collecting, and one of the rooms was completely decorated with mirrors, which, according to the memoirs of E.P. Yankova, was very unusual for that period. Rostislav Evgrafovich was very proud that once Emperor Paul I became a guest in his house. After the death of Tatishchev, the house went to his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Prince S. S. Vyazemsky, and her daughter Varvara Sergeevna Ershova inherited possession from her. In the 1860s, she sold the estate to the 1st guild merchant Lev Ivanovich Katuar, who ordered the partial reconstruction of the house and outbuildings to the architect A.S. Kaminsky , completed in 1869. From 1899, when Catoire died, and until 1917 the estate was owned by his sons Andrei, George and Leo ^[2] .

Under Catoires, for some time, part of the estate’s area was occupied by the editorial office of the Courier newspaper, published from 1897 to 1904.

In Soviet times, there was a research institute for reflexology, and after it a research institute for traditional methods of treatment ^[2] .

As of 2017, the estate is divided by medical and children's institutions. ^[3]

The internal layout of the main house with the front lobby and enfilade of the second floor has survived to the present time ^[2] .
