      • Shekhtel built the house for his family in 1896 together with his assistant Vladimir Adamovich.
      • The architect joked in a letter to Nikolai Chekhov that cabbies took his "hut" for either a Lutheran church or a synagogue.
      • The mosaic above the entrance, made by Vladimir Frolov from Shekhtel's sketches, shows the owner's initials, the date of construction and irises.
      • Vrubel, Levitan, Sobinov and Savva Morozov visited Shekhtel here.
      • In 1910 the family moved to a more spacious mansion on Bolshaya Sadovaya.
      • Since the 1950s the mansion has been occupied by Uruguayan diplomats; the parquet, wood paneling and wrought-iron grilles survive inside.
