By the early 18th century the trade has moved to the Western part of the city, spanning the natural moat bridge trading. The wooden structure was not burned. That is why the authors of the first General plan of the city of Vladimir, which was approved in 1781 Catherine II, proposed to build a stone Gostiny Dvor, which was supposed to decorate the street and occupy the entire block.

The construction of the Shopping series lasted from 1787 on funds and commissioned merchants Vladimir. In those days the Governor of Vladimir was P. G. Lazarev – father of the famous Explorer M. P.

Zharov. Thus there was a two-storey shop, which the inhabitants of Vladimir called "bricks" – in appearance of the building in the facade of the store used glazed bricks.

In 1914, V. A. Petrovsky, owner of corner shops in Tsaritsyno street, also decided to rebuild the premises at the project of the same architect. The Vladimir and found this store its name. Because of the round tower, which was decorated with bas-reliefs, this store is called "round Gum" (today is "Home clothes").
