A red ruin is hidden behind a huge apartment house at Maroseyka 13, Bld 2. By the way, the apartment house was built by the architect Ernst-Richard Nirnzee, the author of the first Moscow skyscrapers.

It is not known who previously owned this small building. In the 20th century, there were communal apartments. In the 1990s, the building was about to be demolished, but the new owner suddenly disappeared. Since then, the house stayed abandoned, gradually falling apart.

In 2017, as a part of "My Street" programme, the architectural firm "Strelka KB" suggested to save the ruined house as it preserved the architectural history of the city, so the doorway in the wall has become an entrance to a small park between the houses. The restorers conserved the ruin, the red color of which, in addition to its protective function, has become a bright accent of this place.

According to the restorer Peter Shutov, the surviving part of the building is history in its purest form: “In the centre there is an entrance, it dates from the turn of the 19th and 20th century. On the right, there is a section of the wall of the first half of the 19th century; the plaster of two construction periods is preserved on it - the first with a small-scale rustication which no longer exists in Moscow, the second - with another decorative element which are the late pilasters. On the inner side, on the right, at the end of the masonry, there is a trace of the wall adjoining to the frame of a wooden manor house of the late 18th century - the rarest thing!"
