The residential building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment is a symbol of a bygone era.

Its construction was planned according to the unified urban development plan, which was adopted in 1947. Eight high-rise buildings were to become the dominant elements of the new architectural appearance of Moscow. The laying of all eight took place on the same day, on the day of Moscow`s 800th anniversary. But only seven buildings were built: due to the cancellation of the construction Of the Palace of Soviets, the last, eighth, building in Zaryadye was not built. In fact, the construction of this high-rise began in 1938, when the project of architects D. N. Chechulin and A. K. Rostkovsky began construction of the nine-story right wing along the Kotelnicheskaya embankment as an independent building. However, in 1948-1952 it was included in a new ensemble with a partial change of the front facade.
