The Kovrov Merchants' Rows were built in 1892–1893. By the beginning of the 20th century, Kovrov became one of the most important industrial centres of the Vladimir region. The town had an iron foundry, a sawmill, several brick factories, and in 1916, it saw the start of construction of Russia's largest machine-gun factory. The industry development drove the city's growth. It was time when the Merchants' Rows were established.

The merchant's palace of the 17th century is notable for its austerity and asceticism. It currently houses an archaeological exposition named Gorokhovets in Russian History: Heritage of Generations. The Kanonnikov brothers, owners of the house, were regarded as ‘prominent citizens’ of Gorokhovets. They held high elective positions in the ‘civil services’.
