The Tretyakov Trading House
Russia. Moscow. St. Kuznetsky Most, 13/9, bldg. 1 - The Tretyakov Trading House with the Lyons Credit Bank.
In the XVIII century. at the corner of Kuznetsky Most and Rozhdestvenka there were two-storey stone buildings with benches that belonged to Count I.I. Vorontsov. It was from these shops that the glory of Kuznetsky Most as the most "French" street of old Moscow began: the first Parisian fashion stores opened here. A century later, the property was acquired by merchants, brothers P.M. and S.M. Tretyakov - the creators of the famous art gallery. In 1889, the construction of a trading house began on this site. The work was entrusted to A.S. Kaminsky - the favorite architect of the Tretyakovs.
For three years, Kaminsky erected a three-storey "tower" in the Russian style on Kuznetsky Most - perhaps one of the best creations of the famous architect. Even at the design stage, it was known that part of the building, along Rozhdestvenka Street, was rented by the Lyon Credit Bank. Therefore, in the basement, where the safes were supposed to be installed, a unique system was designed that made it possible to flood the room with water - additional protection from burglars. On the side of Kuznetsky Most, a store was opened in the house "Datsiaro" - a well-known company, famous for the publication of high-quality printed art graphics.
After the revolution, the house was nationalized. Soon the People's Commissariat of Justice moved here, and later - the Prosecutor's Office of the RSFSR. In the part of the building on the Kuznetsky Most there was a hairdresser's. Over the years, most of the interiors have been destroyed.
At the turn of the XX and XXI centuries. in the premises of the former trading house br. Tretyakovs housed a restaurant, as well as a sauna with a swimming pool.
And in 2007, restoration of the monument began. Mosaic floors, a staircase, a mezzanine balcony, a chandelier of the late 19th century, most likely made according to a sketch by the artist A.N. Benois, exact copies of the tapestries that used to cover the walls were made. The facades of the building have been repaired, the brass shaped roof with scallops has been restored.
Now, as before the revolution, part of the building is occupied by a bank, in the other part - by various offices.
