“Architecture is also a chronicle of the world: it speaks when both songs and legends are already silent and when nothing says anything about the lost people. Let it, at least in fragments, appear among our cities in the form in which it was under the already outmoded people. "N.V. Gogol "On the architecture of the present time."

The other day, in my post, I mentioned a mansion located at Strastnoy Boulevard, 15, with a promise to return to it, since it was not given proper attention. Now I want to make up for lost time. The fate of this house is really interesting, as it is rich in both events and famous names.

The mansion began to count its history from 1776. A house was being built according to the project of the famous Russian architect Mikhail Fedorovich Kazakov. It is believed that Kazakov created a school of numerous students who built up all of Moscow and a significant part of Russia with buildings that inspired architects for a whole century, even the concept of the Cossack style was introduced (Grabar, "History of Russian Art").


So, one can immediately imagine the scale and ambitions of the customer who invited such a famous architect to build the mansion. The house was built for the wealthy aristocrat Sergei Vasilievich Gagarin (prince, actual privy councilor, senator), the prince was a great amateur gardener. Taking into account the interests of the owner of the house, the architect solved the problem of planning the entire site. The challenge was to preserve a site for a regular garden with greenhouses, as well as fountains, with the magnificent façade. The house was placed on the corner of the site and the main facade was facing Petrovka. The courtyard adjoins on the left side of the building and is surrounded by circumferences of the service building, which is a continuation of the main two-story array, from which the middle part of three floors is separated. The portico of an unusual size makes up the entire richness of the façade, which is otherwise extremely simple.

From 1802 to 1812 in the house of Prince S.S. Gagarin was the English club - the place of pastime of the Moscow high nobility. In 1806, a dinner was held here in honor of P.I. Bagration, the winner at Schöngraben. The dinner given in his honor is described in War and Peace in some detail, although Tolstoi introduced historical details with great care. In particular, he did not go into the details of the building's interiors, did not even indicate where it was located. When reproducing the history of the famous dinner, about which all of Moscow was talking for several months, the writer used the "Notes" of an eyewitness and participant in this glorious feast Stepan Petrovich Zhikharev. By portraying eminent guests of the English Club, Tolstoy underlines the strict selection that has been established for applicants from the very foundation of the club. At the dinner "most of those present were old, respectable people with broad self-confident faces, fat faces, firm movements and voices. This kind of guests and members sat in familiar, familiar places and converged in well-known, familiar circles. A small part of those present consisted of casual guests - mainly young people, including Denisov, Rostov and Dolokhov ... "(vol. V, part I, ch. III, p. 20)

In 1812 Stendhal, who served in the Napoleonic army, stayed in the house, when it was located Main Headquarters intendant. Stendhal said of the building: "There is not a single club in Paris that can match it."

The French were amazed to see the city rich in stone palaces. One of the officers of the Napoleonic army in September 1812 described his extreme surprise at what he saw: “Upon entering Moscow, I was overwhelmed with surprise mixed with admiration, because I expected to see a wooden city, as many said, but, on the contrary, almost all houses turned out to be brick and the most graceful and most modern architecture. Private houses looked like palaces, they were so rich and beautiful. " The same Stendhal wrote in a letter to his sister: "Moscow - a city unknown to Europe until now - had from 600 to 800 palaces, the beauty of which surpasses everything that Paris knows."

But, unfortunately, the fate, like many other Moscow palaces, was predetermined by a fire in 1812, if not for the fire, Moscow would have retained in many ways the face that Kazakov gave it. Kazakov received the news about the entry of the French into Moscow, and then about the death of many of his creations in a grand fire. He was seriously ill, he could not bear this blow and in November 1812 he died. The badly burnt mansion of Gagarin was renewed in 1825-28. a student of M.F. Kazakov by the architect O.I. Beauvais. The basement floor was redesigned - the arches were replaced by horizontal lintels imitating the castle stones, a spectacular frieze was created - the frieze of the pediment was decorated with stucco ornament typical of the Empire style.

Since 1833, a hospital has been equipped here. After the renovation, the hospital was opened to the public and became known as Novo-Ekaterininskaya. At the same time, the date of the foundation of the hospital was set on the pediment. At the hospital, hospital clinics were opened, first at the Moscow Medical and Surgical Academy, and since 1845 - at the Medical Faculty of the Imperial Moscow University. A very interesting fact from the history of the hospital was described already in Soviet times.
In 2009, the hospital completely moved to the address. Scribe, 10. The building was transferred to Moscow.

This is what the famous architect, artist Vyacheslav Loktev says about current state mansion: " Modern look the hospital makes a depressing impression. The building is neglected both outside and inside. In the course of repeated "house management" repairs (instead of the mandatory professional restoration for a monument of this class), magnificent architectural details - capitals and portico bases, cornice profiles, frieze stucco molding, key stones over openings, window balusters - completely lost their former geometric correctness. A somewhat patched roof hangs from the walls in a fringe. The interiors are in an even sadder state. But these were magnificent halls, chambers with vaults, shades, doors of a strict design, stylish chandeliers ... Poor Kazakov, poor Bove! Did they assume that the descendants would dispose of the masterpiece bequeathed to the city in this way?

Recently, while walking along Strastnoy Boulevard in the evening, the company decided to sneak into the possession of the Novoe Catherine Hospital. Secretly, because an ad is pasted on the fence that "no unauthorized entry is allowed, the territory is guarded by the police", there is an impressive lock on the gate, slightly covered with a "patina" of time, that is, with rust. But, having shown persistent curiosity, they found that the gate was open, and the temptation to succumb to temptation increased.

The place itself is very beautiful, when you find yourself outside the gates separating the hospital territory from the boulevard, you are greeted by a green massif, which absorbs into its mysterious world of peace and quiet. Once you find yourself in this territory by will, you begin to reflect on the fate of this house.

It is scary to look into the future, and even more so it is not a gratifying task to be engaged in fortune-telling of the fate of this monument, but it is in a painfully deplorable state, because the facts speak for themselves:
- the burned-out Manege,
- the house of the merchant Bykov on the 2nd Brestskaya street. The investment contract and the decision of the Moscow government to implement it existed for a very long time, but this fall it was canceled. Unfortunately, literally a few weeks after this cancellation, the house burned down. One thing is good that the monument managed to withstand the fire;
- the old tenement house of the architect Gasinsky at 7/11 Klimashkina street. The firefighters assumed that the cause could be welding (the house was being reconstructed). Although two months ago the house was recognized as a cultural heritage site and Mosgorstroynadzor revoked the permission for construction work;
- "Dacha Muromtsev" in Tsaritsyno;
- Faculty of Journalism, Moscow State University Lomonosov, st. Mokhovaya, 9. An architectural monument of the 18th century;
- House of the composer Alyabyev, Novinsky Boulevard, 7. An architectural monument of the XIX century;
- The main house of the Trubetskoy princes' estate, Usacheva Street, 7. An architectural monument of the 18th - 19th centuries, it was considered one of the oldest wooden buildings in Moscow, even Pushkin visited it. After the fire, only the basement and basements remained;
- Academic Musical Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, st. Bolshaya Dmitrovka. The theater was closed for reconstruction (the decision on which was made even before the fire) until September 2005. The building has been rebuilt, modernized and expanded.

You can list more and more, someone even noticed that Moscow is burning, as under Napoleon. And the warning "agitation" that the Moscow authorities, with the concern of a zealous owner, hung all over the city, look very strange.

And towards the end, Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky:

Pests
us
threaten with fires.
Follow
for their
lean figures.

The main house of the estate and the semicircular service building to the left of it were built in the classicism style. Presumably, the author of the project was a famous one.

In 1806, a reception was organized in this building in honor of P.I. Bagration, described in the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's War and Peace.

After the occupation of Moscow by the French army in 1812, the headquarters of the chief intendant was located in the house at 15 Strastnoy Boulevard. One of the commissar's officers was Henri Beyle, the future famous French writer Stendhal.

In 1821, the semicircular office building was restored, which was leased to the organizer of circus performances Fenardi.

Since 1826, the restoration of the main house on Petrovka, 29, designed by the architect O.I. Beauvais. In 1828, the building was bought by the treasury and given to the order of the public charity.

Novo-Catherine Hospital at the corner of Petrovka and Strastnoy Boulevard

In 1833, the hospital moved to the restored house, which was named Novo-Ekaterininskaya. The date of its foundation appeared on the pediment of the building - 1775.

On the basis of the hospital, clinics of the Medical and Surgical Academy were opened, and since 1846 - the Medical Faculty of Moscow University.

In the 1980s, at 15 Strastnoy Boulevard, only a few departments of the hospital remained, the main part of which was relocated.

In 2009, the hospital at the corner with 29 Petrovka Street was completely moved to new buildings specially built for it on Pistsovaya Street. The building on Strastnoy Boulevard was transferred to the city.

The Gagarins' town estate is a significant architectural monument of the 18th – 19th centuries. In 1716, the possession "at the Petrovsky Gate" with a stone main house (on the bricks preserved in the masonry - the stamp of 1690-1710s) belonged to Prince Bogdan Ivanovich Gagarin. From this moment, the countdown of the ownership of the estate by representatives of the Gagarin family begins. In 1786–1790, according to the project of the architect M.F. Kazakov, a palace was built in the spirit of classicism, which included early stone buildings. The main facade of the three-story building with long lateral two-story wings is decorated with a twelve-column portico. The second floor of the house was set aside for a suite of luxurious ceremonial rooms with an oval hall in the middle. On the left side of the building, along Strastnoy Boulevard, there was a semicircular building of an arena and a horse yard with wings on the sides.

Since 1802, the English Club was located in the Gagarins' house. Dinner parties were held here, card games were arranged. It was here, in 1806, that a gala dinner was held in honor of Prince Bagration, which Leo Tolstoy described in his novel War and Peace. This dinner was a manifestation of the Moscow nobility against the Kutuzov strategy against Napoleon, and support for Suvorov's plans, embodied in the actions of Bagration at Austerlitz and Schöngraben. However, during Patriotic War In 1812 the club was closed. A fire spread to the building, and, according to the memoirs of Henri-Marie Bayle, better known by his creative pseudonym, the French Quartermaster's headquarters was never able to settle in the house, although he was going to do so. However, the officers plundered the wine cellar a little, the contents of which were spared by the fire. Stendhal wrote that there is not a single club in Paris that could compare with the Moscow one.

In 1820, according to the architect's project, the building of the arena and the left wing of the building were rebuilt. The right wing and the central part remain uninhabited for a long time. Since 1828, the Gagarins no longer own the estate. The city authorities decide to place a hospital here - Novo-Ekaterininskaya, the successor to Ekaterininskaya, founded in 1775.

The adaptation of the city estate for a medical institution went on in 1830-1835 according to the project of OI Bove, which he developed back in 1825. The layout of the main building has changed - from the side of the courtyard there are three-storey rotunda-retrades. In the central volume of the building, a main three-flight staircase was arranged, leading to the second floor from the main lobby. Two symmetrically located staircases connected all three floors with the entrances to the building from the courtyard side. On the second floor, in the former oval hall after the reconstruction, the house church of St. Catherine was located.

The architectural decor of the building facades has changed according to the style preferences of the era. OI Bove separated the entire part of the circumference structure from the boulevard by a metal fence on a white-stone base.

The building was overhauled in 1920, and in 1954-1957, restoration work was carried out in the lobby and in the house church. Over time, the state of the historical facades and interiors became unsatisfactory: in particular, the white-stone facade decor was partially lost or painted over with oil paint; the wall painting is hidden under late paint or finish; artistic parquet covered with linoleum; the spans of cast-iron stairs are lost.

In the course of work in 2013–2015, after the brickwork of the facade walls and openings was removed, the restoration of the white-stone columns of the portico, crowning the cornice of the central part of the building, window sills, interfloor cornices, edicules of the courtyard facade, and the basement was performed. New carpentry window and door fillings, dormer windows, skylights, made according to surviving samples and analogues, have been installed. The restoration of the stucco decoration of the entablature of the portico of the main facade was carried out with the reconstruction of the coat of arms from plaster Russian Empire... The stone porch of the main entrance has been restored. The stone porches and areas of the entrances to the building from the side of the courtyard and courdoner were rebuilt. Installed metal canopies over the entrances. The dome with the drum of the house church was recreated on the roof. The white-stone basement and pylons of the fence gate on Strastnoy Boulevard have been restored.

During the restoration work on the first and second floors of the building, fragments of the original facade were found under plaster - white stone decor, hidden during the reconstruction of the times of OI Bove. All elements of white stone have been restored to recreate the loss and incorporated into the new interior of the building.

On the basis of the existing fragment of the cast-iron step, the appearance of the main staircase and the stairs of the central volume were recreated. The restoration of the sandstone stairs of the late 19th century has been carried out. In the premises of the second floor, wall and ceiling paintings, artistic parquet, stucco and stucco decor have been restored and recreated. The doors were installed according to the surviving samples and analogues. The interiors are returned to the historical coloristic solution.

The estate in 2015 became a laureate of the Moscow Restoration competition in the nominations for better organization repair and restoration work "and" For the best restoration project ".

Since 2015, the building of the former Novo-Catherine Hospital has been part of the Moscow Parliamentary Center complex. It hosts solemn ceremonies for presenting city awards, official meetings, art exhibitions and other events organized by the Moscow City Duma.
