History of construction
1941-1945
In July 1941, an airplane bomb hit the building of the Vakhtangov Theater, blowing out the glazing of the Melnikov house. Only the basement, into which the family moved, remained in operation. The rest of the rooms were not heated, the openings were filled with improvised materials due to the lack of funds. The constructions of the house suffered from dampness. It is possible to assume that it was in this period that the process of rotting of wooden ceilings on supports and the growth of deflections started.

The stairs of the building are currently in limited serviceable condition. The bearing capacity of the building column is ensured. The staircase between floors is subjected to the most intensive loads. Therefore, it has a significant physical deterioration a lot of cracks in the plaster layers, when tapping the plaster layer in some places "bounces", paint layers have mechanical damage. The steps squeak when walking, they are erased in the entry points. The stiffness of steps and handrails is insufficient. The opening revealed that the wood was significantly dried out (including due to heat leakage from heat ducts), there were various pads made of slivers under the steps, the lower surface of the opened step was glued with a polymer resin mesh. The ceilings of the 1st and 2nd floors transmit the load to the staircase partitions, which results in multiple vertical, inclined and horizontal cracks.

We punched two holes in the channels for inflow.
1941-1945
The most difficult period for the building, connected with significant losses and alterations of the original author’s solutions, was the winter of 1941−1942. The whole family is forced to live in the basement. In order to keep the house warm, K.S. Melnikov built temporary stoves. Later, a new stove was built in place of the collapsed stove in the living room, which has survived to the present time. The temporary stoves also worked on the other floors, but this was not enough — the house gained moisture and rotting began.
1957
According to the 1957 project, the water heating pipes were installed from the west neighboring section in a brick non-passable duct running along the west façade of the building at a distance of about 2 meters. The pipe inlet is through a former coal hatch in the basement.
1958
In 1958 the house was connected to the central water heating system, steel registers were installed in the calorifier chamber.
1996-1997
After dismantling the scaffolding around the building and removing the underlying slabs, the backfill sand and part of the soil affected by the antiseptic washed off from the forests were removed. The fence of the site was recreated, its layout and landscaping were carried out. Hot water supply pipes, power cables to houses, and telephone network cables were re-laid. The perimeter of the building is covered with a concrete screed with a cement leveling screed, and the eastern drainage channel is restored.
1999
It is required to carry out all external and internal works on engineering support of the monument with submission to operation, to restore the heating station according to the old scheme without installation of automatics and transit heat pipelines beyond the site boundaries according to
2002
The transit heating line has been moved to a bypass on the north side of the site. The previously existing transit line is disconnected.

Technological recommendations for plastering and painting compositions
- Ecolimy K+ premix produced by BestTradeCenter LLC is a composition based on air hydrated lime and Portland cement modified with special additives.
- The system of ready dry mixes “BIRSS 43C5” - spray, ground, cover produced by JSC “Birss” - is a lime-cement plaster on the basis of hydrated lime. For plastering the basement part of facades and covered horizontal planes of the terrace parapet it is necessary to use mortars based on complex cement-lime mortar M75-100 (such as, for example, ready-made dry mixes “BIRSS 22T”, “BIRSS-15E”, “AXIL SHR-3 C-5”, premix “Ecolimy K Optima+”).
Technological recommendations for restoration and restoration of plaster finishing of facades and interiors:
Facade plastering compounds:
Lime-binding:
- Ready dry mix “ACCIL Resto ShR-1” produced by “Stalker ”Ltd. is a composition on the basis of hydraulic lime with a compressive strength of at least 4.0 MPa.
- Ecolimy K” premix produced by BestTradeCenter LLC is a composition based on air hydrated lime modified with special additives.
- The ready-made dry mixture “Runit” is classical, coarse and fine porous on lime binder.
Lime-binding with the addition of cement:
For plastering of facades we recommend compositions on lime binder, for plastering of plinth and horizontal planes we recommend compositions on complex lime binder. For plastering of a large cylinder sprengel partition on the third floor and interiors (plastering on the shingle), compositions based on complex lime-gypsum binder applied in the technique of improved or high-quality plastering are recommended. In case of thick plaster overlays on walls, as well as on protruding elements and joints of heterogeneous materials, reinforcing plaster polymer mesh with mesh size 40×40 mm should be used when applying plaster overlays thicker than 25 mm. Taking into account the composition and condition of the existing plaster finish, it is recommended to carry out plastering works with lime binder mortars in the form of ready mixes and premixes.
For painting of plaster facade finishes made on lime binder, lime coloring system in the form of ready paint should be used. These are: "Runit Izvestkovaya paint" St. Petersburg, "Histolith Innenkalk" by "Caparol", "Kieselit-Fassadenkalkfarbe" by Alligator factory (Germany). To strengthen the surface layer of old plaster it is necessary to use primers on the silicate base: "Runit Silicate Primer or Histolith Silikat-Fixativ. For painting the plaster surface of walls and ceilings made on lime-gypsum and lime binder it is necessary to use traditional reversible, previously used adhesive paints. Depending on the type of painting (simple, improved or high quality), from three to twelve operations of smoothing, priming, undercoating, sanding and filling of the plaster surface are performed. Glue paints are reversible, they can be removed with the help of water, but, together with them they are durable, if properly applied, they can last 10−15 years. The most durable are glue paints on casein binder. An important advantage of glue paints is their porosity: coatings made of these paints are air- and vapor-permeable and environmentally safe.
Ready-to-use adhesive paints are dry paint compositions that are diluted with water immediately before use. To improve the appearance and increase water resistance, it is possible to add olive oil (natural, combined or glyphthalic) to the paint. There are also dry semi-finished products, these are: "Painted whitewash", "Paint dry varnishes", "Decorative dry paints" made by domestic firms of paintwork manufacturers — paint factories of Moscow, Sergievo-Pasad, Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg. They consist of chalk and colorant. The glue solution is prepared separately and then mixed with the semi-finished product diluted in water.
Technological recommendations for the restoration and restoration of painted finish of facades and interiors:
Caparol (Germany) produces ‘Histolith Emulsionfarbe' paint, which is a product of further development and improvement of adhesive paints and contains a reversible mixture of binders, has increased resistance to contamination and biological damage. For painting wooden carpentry windows, stairs, in addition to domestic oil paints and professional (for wood) painting systems on polymer film-forming agent, Caparol painting systems based on linseed oil can be used. This is "Histolith Leinöefarbe" paint with high weather resistance. Untreated coniferous wood is first primed with Capalac Holz-Impägriergrund, then an intermediate and final coat of Histolith Leinöfarbe is applied.
For plastering interiors (as well as other surfaces on the shingle) it is recommended to use ready-made dry plastering mixes based on complex lime-gypsum binder. These are ready-made dry mixes "Birss-60IG", "Runit lime-gypsum", Aksil Resto SHR-IG. The mixtures are prepared on the basis of gypsum and lime, are characterized by high adhesive strength, low density, high porosity and plasticity, can be recommended for plastering walls and ceilings. Mark of mortars M40−50. Dry mix on the basis of gypsum and lime is characterized by low density and high porosity, mortars are technological and plastic, allow to keep constant humidity in the room.
