Ossokins in Kazan
Gavrila Ivanovich
Ossokin. Daguerreotype
This house of Ossokins was located on the corner of
Novokomissariatskaya (now Mushtari) and Starogorshechnaya (now
Shchapova). The house, together with the estate once vast, fenced with a high
stone fence, occupies the entire corner of the block. The building was built in
1849 according to the design of the architect Innokenty Bessonov.
The owner of the house was
Gavrila Ivanovich Osokin
, owner of the
notorious cloth factory. Probably, the choice of place to build the house was
also due to the fact that on Novokomissariatskaya Street there was a
commissariat in charge of the army's clothing allowance.
His father, retired lieutenant colonel Ivan Petrovich Osokin, received from his
uncle, commercial adviser and manufacturer, Ivan Fedorovich Dryablov, a
huge inheritance that Dryablov inherited from the merchant and industrialist
Ivan Miklyaev. The inheritance also included two one-story houses in Kazan.
The Ilyins are connected with the Ossokins through the wife of Gavrila
Ivanovich - the half-sister of
Nikolay Alekseevich Moiseev
Praskovya
Ermolaevna Velikopolskaya. Nikolay Alekseevich is the father of
Nadezhda
Nikolaevna
, the wife of
Petr Aleksandrovich Ilyin
. Thus, Gavrila Ivanovich
was Pyotr Alexandrovich’s uncle.

Petr Gavrilovich Osokin bought in 1862 from the Kiselevskys a huge
three-story house on Bolshaya Red Street — on the corner of Arsky Field. On
the lower floor, with windows covered with semicircular bars, he lived, and
on the second and third floors were his grandmother <
Varvara Ivanovna
Moiseeva, Petr Gavrilovich's aunt
> with Lyudmila <
Petr Gavrilovich's
daughter
> and the Moiseevs. The house was gray and very gloomy from the
outside. The interior was well decorated, the rooms were large with beautiful
furnishings and paintings. A very beautiful marble staircase led from the
common doorman’s hall to the second floor. A large family and a large
domestic staff could barely fit in this huge house. Expenses for the table and
for the maintenance of common servants were made in half by the
grandmother and Ossokin. They had separate horses and carriages. Ossokin's
valet was considered his personal servant.
My grandmother

This house in Sukonnaya Sloboda (now Petersburgskaya, 55/1) was built
for I.F. Dryablov famous Kazan architect Vassily Kaftyrev in 1767.
“Architecture Lieutenant” Kaftyrev is considered the author of the first
general plan of the city, which was approved by Catherine II in 1768. Kaftyrev
designed dozens of houses in Kazan that have survived to this day.
The Dryablov house was inherited by Ivan Petrovich Ossokin in 1774.
