Konstantin Lazarev's apartment building

8 Naschokinsky Lane

This block of flats was built in 1897 by the architect Petr Pavlovich Shchektov for the entrepreneur Konstantin Fedorovich Lazarev. Bulgakov lived in the neighbouring house (3/5 Nashchokinsky Lane) from February 1934 until his death on 10th March 1940. It is believed that this building, built in a pseudo-Gothic style, could have inspired Margarita’s famous house.
