Only the entrance hall, dressing and fragments of the facade tiling have been preserved. M.V. Lomonosov, A.P. Sumarokov, A.P. Losenko, F.S. Rokotov, V.I. Bazhenov, etc. visited the Shuvalov Palace. Initially, the Academy of Fine Arts classes founded with the participation of Shuvalov in 1757 were held there, and a picture gallery was placed there. After Shuvalov's departure abroad, the palace changed hands many times. In the 1770s, it was reconstructed for Chief Prosecutor of the Senate, Prince A.A. Vyazemsky, who received G.R. Derzhavin, I.I.
