Built in 1815 on an estate plot laid out after the great fire of 1811 in Podil, the house was erected on land granted to nobleman Zakhar Brezgunov, a jeweler and pupil of the renowned Kyiv master S. Strelbytskyi. The construction was commissioned by the Kyiv merchant F. Fedorov.

The residential building is brick, two-storeyed, partially with a basement, and painted. It has an L-shaped plan and was constructed according to a standard (“model”) design. In 1860, the house underwent reconstruction, during which its façades were decorated in the late Classicist style.

The building is a notable example of mid-19th-century residential architecture in Kyiv.
