Representative classic facade with a ten-column portico of the Tuscan order, turned to Ostozhenka (house 38, structure 1), decorates the building of the currently respected metropolitan university, Moscow Linguistic University.
Eastern, his end goes to the alley connecting the oozen with the prechurenka, named Yeropkinsky, which is not good. Toponym, preserved in urban memory, glorified the name of Peter Dmitrievich Yeropkin (1724-1805), Governor General of Moscow. This post is a descendant of ancient kind, leading roots from Rurik, held four years without small, from June 28, 1786 to 19 February 1790. At this time, Peter Dmitrievich had already in possession of the estate mentioned above the estate on the oozen. Being another senator, in 1763 he settled here.
"... high growth, very thin, somewhat crumpled, very pleasant outdoor, and who remembered him as a smolod, said that he was a handsome. His eyes had big, very dormant and pretty shoulded, eagle's nose; He was powdered, he wore a bundle and was combed in three curls, "we read about Yeropkin in the famous" grandmother's stories from the memories of five generations "D. D. Blagowovo. The description exactly corresponds to the parade portrait of our hero of the brush of an unknown painter stored in the Tula Art Museum.
On the chest of Peter Dmitrievich Yeropkin, the participant of the seven-year war, the Order of St. Anne, received for the victory of Pillars, the Order of Andrei and the First-Called and Andreevskaya Tape, granted by Empress Catherine II for the doubt of the Plague Bunt in Moscow in 1771. Being a lieutenant general, he headed the main salt office, was engaged in charging excise taxes from salt, bringing the enormous income of the Russian Empire.
When a plague riot began, Yeropkin served as an assistant to the Moscow commander-in-chief of Peter Saltykov.
The townspeople were outraged by the epidemiological measures of Metropolitan Amvrosia, the human of the enlightened, who decided to ban the prayers and remove from the chapel from the barbaric gate of China-town a highly active icon of the Bogolyuba Mother of God. Mass pilgrimage to the shrine was dangerous increased the spread of the plague. Concepting the Amvrosia, the crowd rushed into the dwelling of Yeropkin, but the owner did not find it.
Yeropkin introduced troops to Moscow. The order in the city was invisible, the riot is meaningless and mercilessly depressed.
Wife Peter Dmitrievich Eroprkina was the cavalier lady of the Order of St. Catherine, the daughter of General-Anshuf Mikhail Leontiev, Elizabeth. Mikhail Leontiev, to the Word to say, accounted for a cousin Natalia Kirillovna Naryshkina, Mother Peter I.
The house of Yeropkins on Ostozhenka was erected in 1771, as was customary, Matvey Fedorovich Cossack. In any case, the architect has fixed in his famous albums.
When Yeropkin acquired a plot of land in Khamovniki, there were already two buildings of chambers previously owned by the governor, Dmitry Andreevich Koltsov-Mosalsky and Alexey Vasilyevich Makarov, the secret office of Peter I, who made the secret securities of the emperor. In Catherine, I Makarov had a lot of power and influence, even from time to time replaced the empress at meetings of the Supreme Secret Council. With Anna, Ioannovna Makarov was sent under house arrest, in custody and died.
Based on two chambers of Matvey Cossacks build a two-storey house for Eropkin customers. The designer had to take into account the initial location of old buildings. If you look at the building plan, it may seem somewhat confusing. The left part of the palace was expanded by the attached gallery, the interior is elegantly decorated and furnished.
Eroxkins were considered very welded owners, often satisfied in their house the so-called outdoor table, on which any neat dressed passersby can come in and for free. They say, at the Bals in childhood, A. S. Pushkin was here.
And since Yeropkin, having received the title of General Governor of Moscow, move to the worn office mansion on Tverskaya, 13, did not wish, then Empress Ekaterina II more than once visited it on the oozen.
Elizabeth Mikhailovna Yeropkina was weak health and almost did not leave home.
In the mansion for her, there was a house temple, consecrated in the name of the Kazan Mother of God, with mobile antimony. In 1800, she died. Spouse survived her for five years. "It died easily, accurately fell asleep, having wagged three elbows in Rokambol."
Since the heirs of Yeropkin did not leave, their place was taken by numerous nephews, the princes of Gagarins and the Brothers of the Novosillese.
Those in 1806 sold the estate of the Moscow merchant society for 35 thousand rubles, which a commercial school was opened in the former Eroprkinsky ownership. In different years, an educational institution for merchant children graduated from Genetic Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov, writer Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov, Messenat Sergey Ivanovich Zimin, film director and artist Yakov Alexandrovich Protazanov, etc.
In 1820, in a mansion on Ostozhenka in the family of Mikhail Vasilyevich Solovyov, the lawpower of the Moscow Commercial School, the priest of the house church was born a future historian Sergey Soloviev.
After the war of 1812, the affected building was expanded by an extension to the Western end and the add-on of the third floor. The project led Domenico Liberadi. On the second floor of a new Western volume, a large hall with a cylindrical arch on the rented arches was arranged. The ends were accented by columns.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the house temple was attached to private donations. The walls were separated by pink marble, the iconostasis was gilded, according to the sketches of the painters of Mikhail Nesterov and Viktor Vasnetsov performed murals.
The revolution eliminated a commercial school. In his place opened the work faculty of the Moscow Industrial and Pedagogical Institute. Karl Liebknecht. The university in his walls prepared teachers engineers for the factory-factory learning system, technical schools and secondary schools.
In 1939, the Institute of Foreign Languages was earned here. Moris Toreza, now the Moscow State Linguistic University.
The object of cultural heritage of the federal value of the city estate of Peter Yeropkina was recognized in 2016.
And now the building of the XVIII century on the oozen is approved by the subject of protection. The list is the most valuable for the restorers of parts - fan, lion's masks in the frame of the windows of the first floor, the white stone in the trim of the facade, stucco sockets, stoves, stairs in the interior, flooring, cast iron plates with floral ornaments and solar signs, brownies of the house temple.
