On the street above the State Medical University is one of the lesser-known architectural highlights of the Devichye Pole area: the wooden house known as Pogodin's Izba (an izba being a small Russian wooden house). The house was built in the Russian national style, including the ornate decorations known as wooden lace, in the mid-19th century and given to the prominent historian Mikhail Pogodin. During the Second World War the house was damaged by a bomb and only restored in the 1970s.
