The history of the estate can be traced back to the 1st half of the 18th century. Between 1738 and 1742 on its territory there were three households belonging to the palace vodka Ivan Grigoriev, princess Praskovya Petrovna Shakhovskoy and Senate Secretary Peter Ivanovich Bogdanov. In the 1740s - early 1750s. Grigoriev's plot is owned by a foreigner Veniamin Yakovlevich Schroeder. Later, Shakhovskoy's home ownership passed to Prince Ivan Mikhailovich Obolensky. In 1757-1758 the merchant of the second guild, Matvey Nikiforovich Dudin, acquired the Schroeder and Bogdanov plots, and in 1764 - the Obolensky plot.

In the second half of the 1770s. the new owner, Major General Fedor Matveyevich Shestakov, added the Alalykin garden to the estate, and the property acquired its present square shape with a slightly sloping northern border and a small projection of the former Alalykin garden to the east (according to the plan of 1777–1778).

Deceased in 1787 F.M. Shestakov was replaced by new owners of the estate: first, the general-food master Pyotr Timofeevich Lobkov (from 1792), then the foreman Vasily Dmitrievich Lobkov (from 1793) and, finally, the widow of the latter. Anna Ivanovna Lobkova came into possession in 1797. Under these owners, a stone two-storey house with a mezzanine was built in the line of Kozitsky Lane with a small indent from the eastern side border of the site (modern house No. 5). For the first time it appears on the plan of 1799 together with a lateral wing built somewhat later, slightly elongated along the western border, separating the estate from the neighboring courtyard of the merchant P. Kozhevnikov.

In 1800, the foreman A.I. Lobkova at the entrance to the estate in the line of Kozitsky lane connects the house and the outbuilding with a stone two-story annex with a vaulted passage. Since that time, wooden outbuildings that form the boundaries of the property have been replaced by stone ones. So, in 1805, on the back, northern side of the courtyard, a building of a stable and a carriage shed was built "twenty-three fathoms long, four fathoms wide, 8 yards high", and at the western side border - a square kitchen "four fathoms and a half ". The eastern planning protrusion of the site towards the parish courtyards of the Sergius Church is fixed by a stone two-story residential building.

In 1820 Lobkova sold the estate to Lieutenant General Prince Boris Andreevich Golitsyn. With him, the L-shaped ledge of the side wing connected to the house was lengthened to a carriage shed by a stone two-story building, which closed the entire western side of the courtyard. A residential mezzanine appears over the building of the stable and the coach house.

After the death of B.A. Golitsyn in 1822, the buildings of the estate were used for rented apartments and in 1833 they were transferred to State Councilor V.A. Glebova, who in 1846 buys out a plot of land to the east of the main house from the Church of St. Sergius and erects small outbuildings on it. Since 1856 the estate belongs to Glebova's niece, Praskovya Nikolaevna Lopyrevskaya, and from 1860 to 1883 - to her husband, court counselor Mikhail Osipovich Lopyrevsky. In 1862, Lopyrevsky builds on the second floor above the stables and the carriage shed, completing the continuous two-storey building of the manor yard with a small gap in the southeast corner, and then increasing the profitability of the manor, builds on the third floor over the western and eastern wings.

In 1894, Lopyrevsky's heirs sold the estate, which was built in 1897-1898. were adapted for urban printing. Actually, the printing house was located in the main manor house, the eastern wing was set aside for housing for printing workers, the western one for couriers.

The northern building was rented out. In 1906, the property was equipped with a sewerage system. In the early 1910s. reconstruction of the manor buildings was supposed, in particular, the superstructure of the main house on the third floor, which was not carried out.
In the early 1920s. the buildings of the estate were occupied by the student dormitory of the Moscow Law Institute. P.I. Knocking, then - communal housing.

In 1964, the main house housed the Institute of Art History of the USSR Academy of Sciences (since 1977 - the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of the USSR Ministry of Culture, since 1992 - the State Institute of Art History).

In the 1970s - early 1980s. the northern and eastern service buildings of the estate were demolished. From the long northern building with arched openings of the stable and the carriage shed in the lower floor (1805), built in the 1820s. a five-window mezzanine with a triangular pediment, and in 1862 the second floor with 12 windows symmetrically on the sides of the mezzanine, only the part that was directly adjacent to the western wing and, like it, was built on the third floor, survived.

The estate is associated with the names of many prominent figures Russian culture. In the estate of A.I. Lobkova spent the childhood of her son S.A. Sobolevsky (1803–1870), a famous bibliophile, bibliographer and journalist, friend of A.S. Pushkin. In April 1828 Sobolevsky arranged in this house to see off the Polish poet Adam Mitskevich, who was leaving Russia, which was attended by Moscow writers and scientists. Mickiewicz was presented with a silver goblet with the names of those present engraved on its bottom and with the poems of E.A. Baratynsky.
