While browsing photo of South Butovo, stumbled upon in the archives a photo of Pertsov's or Pertsova's tenement house. This is a rather interesting house in the center of Moscow and is considered by some to be one of the most in the city. Whether it is true or not, it is not for me to judge. But one summer, I got out of my distant Butovo to see it specially. The only pity is that it is outside, because in order to get inside, you have to be related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to which it has now been transferred to the jurisdiction. They used to say the doors were open and it was possible to enter.
Pertsov's apartment building in Moscow
The house has a rich history, which I will not retell in detail, everything has long been described on the Internet.. «House-fairy» was built in 1907 for artists, which is why it is so colorful and unusual, in the Art Nouveau style. According to the idea of engineer Pertsov, these are residential apartments with workshops. Pertsov himself was sentenced in 1922 to 5 years in prison for keeping the treasures of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, it is located right next to it, and when he came back a year later, he was already evicted from his house. In 1908-1912, the Bat cabaret was located here, that is, the Moscow bohemia hung out, and after that Trotsky also lived. In general, I say, a rich history.

Just a lawn near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and fluff
Unfortunately, the spirit of that time cannot be felt in any way, as if there was nothing left inside, everything interesting outside. Here are a couple of photos of the interior from the Internet. In my opinion, it is too non-functional and clumsy..
