Adjacent garden workers' settlement eventually gave name to Sadovniki and Sadovnicheskaya street.

The classical three-story waterfront mansion (now at 43 Sadovnicheskaya), which was in the way of housing construction after World War II, was carefully lifted with hydraulic jacks and moved south to its present location.

Grand Stalinist construction concentrated on the Moskva river front, while Sadovnicheskaya street (just a hundred meters south) remained mostly intact.

An important late Constructivism landmark in Sadovniki is the Textile Institute, facing near the Ustinsky Bridge.

No reliable sources exist to the number of killed or the nature of a blast (either a gas pipe leak or WWII ammunition).

Present-day street is clearly segmented into two halves separated by Bolshoy Ustinsky Bridge: Also within 20 minutes walk from Kitay-Gorod, Taganskaya-Radialnaya, Taganskaya-Koltsevaya.
