The author studied the history of the inner-block building at 23b Egorova Street, letter A, located in the projection of Ustinov house at 18 Izmailovsky Prospekt, that had been built as a revenue house and rented out in the early 20 century. The author also analyzed reconstructions, extensions, transformations of the building and its annexes in order to determine its historical and cultural significance and other valuable parameters. The analysis made it possible to establish the initial function of the building and to study its planning solutions typical for revenue houses of the period under consideration. According to the results, the building at 23b Egorova Street, letter A, has no memorial, historical, town-planning and architectural value, therefore, it cannot be classified as a historical building.
