History
The building was erected in 1903-1904 in the Art Nouveau style according to the project of the architect George Ivanovich Makayev [1] . It has unofficial names [2] :
- “House with poppies” - the relief with poppies flaunts on the facades of the house; ceramic inserts with the image of red poppies on a blue background were once located in the upper part of the building.
- “House with cats” - the bas-relief is the decoration of the upper part of the bay window , somewhat reminiscent of cat’s heads, the body and legs of cats fall to the very edge of the bay window.
- “House with cacti” - a decorative element of one of the walls of the architectural structure is a bas-relief in the form of five flowers resembling cacti or, quite possibly, chamomiles .
In 1905, the house, originally owned by the architect himself, passed to the wife of the provincial secretary, N. G. Tarhova, who had been the owner of the site since the 19th century . In 1910, the building was sold to the hereditary noblewoman Sofya Vladimirovna Belogolova (while Makayev himself continued to live in the house he built) [3] .
In the USSR, apartments were converted into communal apartments that existed until the 1990s. Among the well-known residents of the house is Konstantin Viktorovich Zvezdochotov , an artist, co-founder of the Amanita art group. For some time in the basement of the house there was an amateur museum “Children and Parents” dedicated to repressed scientists, in the late 2000s, exhibits were destroyed by representatives of an unknown company [4] .
The apartment building of N. G. Tarkhova is one of the regional architectural monuments [5] .
Architecture
According to Maria Nashchokina , the building on the corner with the Barracks Lane is a unique building for Moscow Art Nouveau [6] . It is decorated with bay windows, balconies , attics , windows, various in shape and pattern binding. The corner of the house is decorated with a semicircular bay window with small narrow windows, the walls of which are decorated with sculptural images of bizarre flower stems [4] [6] . The facade was repeatedly repaired, and changes were made to simplify the decoration: towers and arches above the roof were eliminated, some of the lost tiles on the facade were replaced by alien stucco lion muzzles, the original monochrome gray color of the facade was replaced with lime and white (then yellow and white ), stained glass windows and embossed glass windows disappeared [4] . During one of the repairs on one of the attics, a ceramic panel depicting swinging poppies was painted over [4] . The facades of the building are in disrepair.
