Outbuilding Of The Town Estate Of Savva Mamontov
History
The town manor on Sadovaya-Spasskaya Street was built in 1816 by court adviser Praskovya Esaulova. In 1867 it was significantly rebuilt, after which the well-known philanthropist Savva Mamontov settled there. In his salon often came Feodor Chaliapin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Vrubel, Sergei Rachmaninoff and other figures of culture and art.
From the city estate of Mamontov to this day only the outhouse wing, built in the 1870s, has been preserved. In the years 1891–1893, the end part of the wing was built to the design of the artist Mikhail Vrubel, who defined the style of his creation as "Roman-Byzantine". In 1895–1896 the entire building was built up, in 1911 the facades were partially changed. After these changes, the architectural style of the wing can be described as "brick".
The artist M. A. Vrubel finished the facades of the wing with majolica (the decor was not preserved), a lion's mask was placed above the entrance gates. In the design of interiors that did not survive to this day, majolica was also widely used. Two majolica fireplaces and two stoves, made according to Vrubel's sketches, are now exhibited in the Abramtsevo museum-reserve.
In 1898, the estate was laid in connection with the difficult financial situation of Mamontov. In 1912, on the site of the main house, the Strahov male gymnasium was built, only a part of its capital walls were preserved.
