Here is Turgenevskaya Square as it was in 1925. The modern photograph was taken from almost the same spot 101 years later. We are interested in the two buildings on the right. They created the Vodofiani line that disappeared. The three-story building in the background is the apartment building of Vera Ivanovna Pirsanova, one of the richest landowners in Old Moscow. Recently we talked a little about this house. A three-story white house overlooks the back of Pirsanova's house. He occupied the corner of Myasnitskaya and Vodopyanoy Lane. Old address: Miasnitskaya, 27-a. If you greatly enlarge the old frame, then on the cornice of the third floor you can read on a large sign: a. third. bull. This is the owner's name. The owner of the house was the musician and teacher Alexander Grigorievich Shor, the founder of the private conservatory "A. third. Shur", who lived in the same building. The building was profitable: apartments were rented, and some of the areas were occupied by shops and offices. For example, on the ground floor in the 1920s there was a "bakery". Miraculously I found the following message in the issue of the newspaper "Izvestia" for September of the terrible year after the revolution 1919: Conservatory A. third. bull. The staff of teachers and students of the private conservatory a. third. Shor (27 Miasnitskaya, tel. 1-53-44) planned a series of Sunday lectures, chamber drama, ballet, rhythmic and syntactic performances. First concert of works by Tchaikovsky on Sunday, October 5, 4:00 p.m. State artist theaters: De Gea Petrov, Friedberg, D. Shor, A. Shore and others. In the first Soviet years, the building was transferred to the municipality. The conservatory operated at least until the late 1920s. He kept his old name, but "the staff of teachers at the private conservatory of A. third. Shor" acted on her behalf. In September 1920, Ossip and Lilia Barik moved to Vodupiani Lane, to a spacious apartment No. 12. Vladimir Mayakovsky actually lived in this apartment as a third tenant until 1926. The 47th police station was located on the ground floor. In 1955 Vodupiani Lane was renamed Turgenievsky Prosed.
