The house of Baskakov on Povarskaya was the last address of writer I.A. Bunin prior to his emigration. In an apartment on the ground floor belonging to his wife's parents, Bunin lived and worked from October, 26th, 1917 until May, 21st, 1918. From here the writer left first to Odessa, then to Constantinople and finally to Paris.

In 2007 in square near to this house the monument to I.A.Bunin has been established.

In 2004 I.S.Baskakova's profitable house is accepted under the state protection as the revealed object of a cultural heritage.
