Excerpt (in translation): In 1782, the owner of the property was Countess E.I. Shuvalova. Since 1831, the estate belonged to the noblemen Levashev, Nikolai Vasilyevich and his wife Ekaterina Gavrilovna.

The writer Pyotr Yakovlevich Chaadaev lived in one of the outbuildings from 1833 to 1856; he was called the “Basmanny philosopher” after the name of the street in Moscow.
