Construction and use
In 1898, the manor of Prince Mikhail Petrovich Volkonsky at Spiridonovka was bought by state councilor and otolaryngologist Agapit Fedorovich Belyaev. Soon the estate burned down and the owner decided to build a new mansion in this place. The researchers note that he took the decision under the impression of the newly built mansion Ryabushinsky , who was nearby. However, without a large budget, Belyaev preferred a more modest project in the style of rational modernism [2] [3] .
The construction was carried out under the direction of architect Ivan Boni, who created the stylistic couple to Ryabushinsky’s house. In 1902-1904 he erected a new manor, which was located at a small distance from the red line of the street. Belyaev's house was visited by his patients, among whom were Fyodor Shalyapin , Alexander Uzhin , Leonid Sobinov [4] . After the October Revolution, the building was nationalized and re-equipped under the residence of the Ambassador of Peru, and later the Ambassador of South Korea [1] . In 1995, the building was recognized as an object of cultural heritage of federal significance [5] . In 2014–2015 , the building underwent historical and cultural expertise. Following its results, a project was prepared for the preservation and restoration of the cultural heritage object [6] [7] .
Architecture
The location of the main entrance and the proportions of the mansion are similar to the urban estate Ryabushinsky. The asymmetry in the composition of Belyaev’s house is created by the stairs leading to the garden and the massive open terrace on the left side of the building. Thanks to the bulky pillars of the fence and protruding porch, the structure looks monumental. The mansion is decorated with typical for modern tiles. At the same time there are no decorative elements peculiar to the style: majolica inserts and mosaics. The house was not damaged during the events of 1917 and retained the original windows. In the upper part, they are represented by cells with convex glasses, which create light overlaps in the rooms [2] .
