House No. 6, the Vysotsky Mansion, was built in 1901 by architect R. I. Klein for the Vysotsky tea merchant family in the style of a French chateau. The artist Leonid Osipovich Pasternak visited this house, he painted portraits of members of this family and gave drawing lessons to children. Boris Leonidovich Pasternak also often visited here. Boris was in love with Ida Vysotskaya, her image is reflected in the poets early work.
The living room of the mansion is also depicted in one of the poems:
I dreamed of autumn in the half-light of the glasses,
You were lost in the gnawing crowd.
But, like a falcon that got blood from heaven,
The heart descended on your hand.
I remember a dream, I see these glasses
With a bloody cry, the cry of September;
The speeches of the guests were impenetrably deaf
The living room is a wasteland of bad weather.
The day was melting in her like an avalanche of loose
And the faded silk of the chairs melted,
You were the first to fall silent, my love,
And after you, the dream itself fell silent.
By the way, "Wissotzky Tea" still exists.
