The residential building (21 Andriivskyi Descent), a monument of architecture, urban planning, and history, housed the workshop of sculptor Ivan Petrovych Kavaleridze and was also home to the historian Fedir Ivanovych Tytov during 1891–1892 and the 1910s.

The brick building consists of two sections — one two-storey and the other three-storey, joined at an obtuse angle and separated at the ground floor by a carriage passageway. It was constructed in the brick style typical of the period.

In the summer of 1911, the semi-basement of the building housed the workshop of Ivan Petrovych Kavaleridze (1887–1978) — a sculptor, film director, playwright, and People’s Artist of the Ukrainian SSR.

In 1991, the Memorial Museum-Workshop of I. Kavaleridze was established in the building. Initially, it operated on a voluntary basis under the Union of Cinematographers of Ukraine, and since 1993, it has functioned as a state museum.

From the 1910s, the building was also home to Fedir Ivanovych Tytov (1864–1935) — a historian, bibliographer, archpriest, Doctor of Theology, and rector of St. Andrew’s Church (1896–1918).
