A cultural heritage object of regional significance - the Yakov Rekka Manor House - will be restored on 56 Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street in Moscow.
The Moscow Art Nouveau monument was built in 1903 according to the project of architect Gustav Helrich. He decorated the facades with stucco in the form of various plants, flowers and leaves, and the frieze under the cornice with figures of cheetahs and masks.
In 1902, the first owner of the plot was the entrepreneur Jacob Rekk. However, the construction of the estate was completed only in 1903 by its new owner - hereditary honorary citizen Serafima Krasilshchikova. In Soviet times the building housed communal apartments, and since the middle of the twentieth century - the Egyptian Embassy.
