Now the house is constantly repainted (including the cornice with an asterisk), tenants change the window frames, quietly destroying strict, worked out by the master tectonics of the facade, but Zholtovsky remains. Among the details of the interior very interesting are fireplaces on the first floor (they have never been fireplaces - standard batteries are established inside) and the staircase with handrails with Roman drawings.
