      • The mansion was built in 1803 on the base of mid-18th-century textile manufactories.
      • In 1815–1826 Senator Ivan Muravyov-Apostol lived here; three of his sons, Sergei, Matvei and Ippolit, took part in the Decembrist uprising.
      • The house survived the fire of 1812, a rare pre-fire mansion for Moscow.
      • The restoration since the 2000s was started by a descendant of the family, Christopher Muravyov-Apostol, who came from Brazil.
      • The walls were painted with English paint on mineral pigments, and the stoves in the house are real and working.
      • The first Decembrists Museum opened here in 1986, but closed by 1991 because of the building's dilapidated state.
      • The exhibition includes letters of Sergei Muravyov-Apostol written before his execution.
