Moscow recent comments:

An early 18th structure known as the Gubin House. Matvei Kazakov modified this classical estate belonging to the wealthy merchant M.P. Gubin whose money came from factories in the Urals. Between 1793 and 1799, Kazakov successfully redesigned this large house situated on the edge of a main street in a fashionable part of town. Without obstructing passage along the street, Kazakov created a loggia effect using two-story high Corinthian columns with a semi-recessed second floor portico. Two side wings of two stories each flank the building's facade.

Russian Book Chamber, the national bibliographic center, which is where the national bibliography is compiled. This group was established in 1917 to register all books, carry out numbering to meet international standards, and distribute copies to libraries throughout the country. The building was the residence of a teacher of Peter the Great, Nikita Moiseevich Zotov (?1644—1718) at the time that he died.

earlier it was called "fox hill", `cause "bald" and "fox" (as adj) have difference in one letter

This 1960s era box-shaped building is home to the Central House of Artists and a branch of the Tretyakov Gallery. The entrance facing the Garden Ring leads to three floors of exhibit halls where members of the artists' union and others display their works. The exhibitions change frequently, and many works are for sale. In addition to the galleries, the entrance fee allows access to shops selling souvenirs, books and artist supplies, as well as a simple buffet on the street level. On the side of the building away from the riverfront is the entrance to the New Tretyakov Gallery that is devoted to Russian art produced after the 1917 Revolution.

The bridge was completed on 1 May 1938 as part of Stalin's reconstruction of Moscow. Legend says that among the hundreds and thousands of rivets in the chain suspending this bridge, there is one solid gold rivet. The roadway deck is 24 meters wide with a 5-meter pedestrian walkway on either side. The Moskva River is shallow here so near this point area it was easier to cross the river. It was been known as the Crimean ford for centuries since in this area the Crimean Tatars used to cross the river on horseback to raid the city. The first bridge on this site was a wooden pontoon bridge built in 1786 and called the Nikolskiy Bridge. This was rebuilt as a fixed wooden causeway with a central span for boat traffic. Floods and ice damaged the wooden bridge requiring numerous repairs until 1873 when a steel bridge was constructed.

Very sad indeed :-/

С правой стороны здания участок был расширен подсыпкой грунта в стороны пруда. Летняя веранда установлена на как раз на этом участке. Летом 2009 капитальную летнюю веранду разобрали, оставили только настил (возможно не было разрешения на капитальную постройку?).
