Only on closer inspection can one notice that this is a single house: its parts are so different in style (however, the house does have four addresses: Mukhnoy Pereulok, 4, Sadovaya St., 25, Bankovsky Pereulok, 5 and Moskatelny Pereulok, 3).

The building was originally constructed by an unknown architect at the end of the 18th century in the then dominant classical style. This is indicated by the triangular pediment, Corinthian pilasters and sandriks decorating the windows of the second floor.

The next stage in the life of the house began in 1842, when the architect Lieven built an arcade to accommodate shops along Sadovaya Street.

A new, even larger-scale reconstruction, carried out according to the design of the architect P. N. Volkov, followed in 1879-1880. The previously open arcade was glazed, and the façade along Mukhnoy Pereulok was rebuilt in the then fashionable eclectic style. However, this reconstruction in the life of the house was not the last.

In 1903, the architect G. I. Lyutsedarsky reconstructed the corner part of the building at the intersection of Bankovsky Lane and Sadovaya Street. Art Nouveau was dominant in the country, and Lyutsedarsky decorated the base of the building with granite chips, and women's heads appeared in the piers between the windows.
