The photo depicts Isidor Isidorovich Komissarov (1874—1915), son of Isidor Onisimovich (Anisimovich) Komissarov, founder of the Tayninka dacha (summer house) community. Isidor junior’s parents came from a family of farmers in the village Lisino, Fedosovksya Volost (rural district), Staritsky Uyezd (administrative unit), Tver Governorate. In 1870s, after the abolition of serfdom, they moved to the estate of the merchant Vasily Perlov, where Isidor Onisimovich worked as a store manager. Over the years of work, Komissarov managed to save up some initial capital. In 1880s, it allowed him to start buying land near the Perlovka station of the Moscow-Yaroslavl-Arkhangelsk railroad (near today’s railway station Tayninskaya). He purchased two land lots and built dacha houses which he rented out.
In total, Isidor Onisimovich owned 32 dachas. A chain of these houses stretched along the Tayninskaya cut to the Troitskaya Road (currently Yaroslavskoe Highway) and the Zheleznodorzhnaya Street. All dachas were one or two-story log cabins with iron roofs, on stone pillars, with decorated open-air terraces. The land lot were quite big, 1,000 to 1,500 sq. m. each. All of them were situated to the right of the railroad going through the community in the direction from Moscow. On the other side the community included the Komissarovskie Ponds, bath-houses on the Yauza river, and land from Tayninskaya station to the river.
The Komissarovs also owned the first store at the community. They accepted cash and sold products on trust. On holidays all permanent customers received presents. For a long time it used to be the only store around.
In 1907, after his father died Isidor Isidorovich, the eldest son, took upon himself all chores in the community. On the photo he is with his wife Maria Petrovna Komissarova (1881—1912), of a family of merchants. They celebrated their wedding in 1899. The man worshipped his spouse, dressed her in the best velvet and expensive furs, bought a lot of golden jewelry for her, although in general he was an economical and even stingy man.
They had three children: two sons and a daughter. Maria Petrovna died suddenly in 1912, at the age of 31. Isidor Isidorovich took his spouse’s death very heavily. The grief took his life away just three years later. He died of cardiac failure at the Basmannaya Hospital of Moscow, at the age of 41.
