On the ground floor there were shops: grocery, wine and vodka, bookshop, "Zinger" shop selling the sewing machines. During the Civil War, in spring 1920 there was an Orgbureau RCP (b) and the editorial board of the newspaper "Communist". After municipalization in 1922 the first floor of the building was given to Daltorg management, joint-stock company "Book Publishing" and other establishments, the second floor was occupied by  the hotel "Washington" with the restaurant "International", and from the end of the 1920s by the Communal hotel № 2.
