35, Bolshaya Ordynka Bolshaya Ordynka, the oldest street in historic Zamoskvorechye, received its name as the initial stage of the route to the Golden Horde. In the 13th and 14th centuries, Golden Horde officials settled here to oversee the collection and dispatch of tribute. However, the social and ethnic composition of the population gradually changed, and by the mid-18th century, the street, like all of Zamoskvorechye, began to be actively populated by merchants. The estate, currently numbered 35, traces its history back to the late 18th century. At that time, the estate belonged to State Councilor Pelageya Ivanovna Yermolova, and the site plan itself featured a perimeter, almost symmetrical, single-story wooden structure. After a fire in 1812, the estate burned completely, but by 1825 it had been completely rebuilt. The residential building, which belonged to the titular councilor and knight Vasily Sergeyevich Rykov, faced Bolshaya Ordynka Street, and a garden was located in the eastern part of the plot. After a series of changes of ownership, the estate was divided into two parcels. The first, number 473, became the property of Ivan Petrovich Petrov, a Moscow merchant of the 2nd guild. In 1891, the wooden vestibule of the main house was dismantled, and in its place, according to the design of the architect M.G. Piotrovich, a two-story stone residential building was erected, combining the residential façade with stone outbuildings (it was later incorporated into the building at number 33 on Bolshaya Ordynka Street). The second parcel, number 679, remained "vacant land" until 1899, when it was acquired by the honorary citizen Nikolai Vasilyevich Kuznetsov. Three years later, Elena Alekseyevna Astafieva, the wife of a lieutenant in the 5th Kyiv Grenadier Regiment, became the owner of the estate. She commissioned the construction of a two-story stone house with its main façade facing the street. According to the design of architect V.D. Adamovich, a passage arch (later bricked up) was installed in the northern part of the estate. The house had two stairwells: a front entrance on the street side and a back entrance on the courtyard side. The first floor contained five rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, two hallways, and a corridor, while the second floor contained seven rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, two hallways, and a storage room. The extremely restrained decor of the building's façade nevertheless bears a subtle Art Nouveau influence in the wavy lines framing the windows. In 1913, the building was remodeled to accommodate a parking lot: the windows were enlarged, a bay was created in the transverse wall, and two small Utermark stoves were installed for heating. In 1978-79, the one-story wooden house on the property number 33 was demolished, and a stone building was erected in its place. A one-story non-residential building in the back of the property number 35 was given a second floor, and a two-story extension was added to it, occupying part of the adjacent property. Thus, the boundary between properties 33 and 35 shifted north.
