It is proposed to start a walk at the Apartment Building of A.S. Taneev, built in 1911 and located on Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street, 20. Lovers of non-standard Moscow architecture nicknamed it "home with a magical entrance." Its main feature is a forked staircase with stone steps and an artistic metal fencing, which due to bizarre curves was compared to the creations of the Spanish genius Antonio Gaudi. Guests can clearly imagine what this house was like under its owner, Abdullah Salekhovich Taneev, because the appearance characteristic of the old Zamoskvorechye and the internal layouts of the building have never changed. In 2016, thanks to the active participation of the State Real Estate Inspectorate, the house was assigned to the list of identified cultural heritage sites. During the restoration, all work was strictly regulated and carried out in such a way as to preserve the historical appearance of the interiors and facades of the building.
Next, you should go to Bolotnaya Square - here the participants of the excursion will see the building of the mid-18th century, the owners of which in different years were college assessor I.T. Rakhmanov, naval captain I.L. Bukhvostov, the Kotov family of merchants, as well as the famous Moscow industrialist German origin Gustav Ivanovich List. Under him, the Sofia Mechanical Plant was founded in the building. An interesting story is connected with the sculptures of a blacksmith and a foundry worker at the entrance gate: considered irretrievably lost, they were accidentally discovered in 2019 during work in the building of the factory building and returned to the historical place after restoration.
Nearby is the house of Gustav Liszt (Bolotnaya Square, 14, building 1, 14) - another point of the route. Gustav Ivanovich and his wife, Paulina Yulievna Schwecker (Schweikert), had four children. All of them lived in this mansion. Elena List- Ivanova, granddaughter of Gustav Liszt, described the house as "old and solid. Its bottom was built firmly - the walls are almost one and a half arshin and ceilings with arches. Architecture was dictated by life: the Moscow River often protruded from the banks and flooded the entire Zamoskvorechye. If the flood happened during the ice drift, the ice floes fought against the house.
It is worth recalling interesting facts from the biography of Gustav Liszt: he began his entrepreneurial activity in, To America where fate brought him together with Henry Ford - the future. builder cars For a long time, Gustav List was a representative of the famous Benz automobile company.
The next stop along the route is the complex of buildings of the Mariinsky Women's School, located on Sofia Embankment, 8 building 1. The history of the site begins in the XVIII century. Having changed several owners, in the 1750s it was bought out by the president of the Revision Commission Vasily Mikhailovich Eropkin, who built the house, which is the basis of the existing building. A century later, under the patronage of Empress Maria Fedorovna, wife of Alexander III, the Mariinsky School was organized in the building. In 1856, it merged with the similar Yermolovsky and soon became one of the best Moscow women's institutions. After the revolution, the building housed school No. 19 named after Belinsky, where children from the famous House on the embankment studied, and in the 1970s Mosproekt-2 moved here. In 2021, the historic site was restored.
