In 1828, the merchants turned to the Governor-General , Prince D. V. Golitsyn with the proposal to establish a stock exchange in Moscow . 

The exchange was opened eleven years later, on November 8, 1839 .
For the construction, the Moscow merchants bought a plot on the corner of Ilinka and Rybny lane , on which Dmitry Solunsky’s church once stood, which was abolished in the 18th century. 
The Exchange was designed by the architect Mikhail Bykovsky in the style of  early " Renaissance " eclecticism .

The reconstruction of the stock exchange took place in  1866. An adjacent site on Rybnoy Lane was purchased. The new building was designed in 1873 - 1875 by the architect A. S. Kaminsky .
The new building acquired a classic portico from the side of Ilinka and a two-story neo-renaissance side facade along Rybnoy Lane.

In 1925, another floor was built on the design of the architect Ivan Kuznetsov .

After the October Revolution, the stock exchange was closed and existed in Soviet Russia only during the NEP period from 1922 to 1930. 

Today, the building houses the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.....
