Since the beginning of the 1880s, the plot of land between Lavrentievskaya (since 1929 - part of Elektrozavodskaya) and Malaya Semyonovska streets belonged to Vasily Dmitrievich Nosov, a merchant of the 1st guild, a hereditary honorary citizen, the owner of the nearby factory of the Nosov Industrial and Trade Partnership (Malaya Semenovskaya, 5-7), famous for the quality of its textile products: scarves, duvet blankets and cloth for uniforms.

Probably, the decision to build a new house on this site was due to the fact that Nosov's only son Vasily married in 1902 Euphemia Pavlovna Ryabushinskaya, daughter of P. M. Ryabushinsky, and soon settled with his wife in the main house of the estate of Vasily Dmitrievich. This is also confirmed by the memories of the grandson of V. D. Nosov, Yu. A. Bakhrushin, who wrote:... "when my uncle married, my grandfather Nosov built himself a new wooden house, and gave the old mansion on Vvedenskaya Square to his son."
