Description
editThe two-storeyed stone house on a high socle is built in the style of early classicism. The balcony is located on the rounded house corner. On the first floor, there is a window, on the second a door with an exit to a balcony. The sole of the house is decorated by semi-windows, and a facade — panels, the pro-thinned-out platbands, and sundeck. On the first floor, there are 2 extreme windows of an arch form, 7 windows with castle fan stones without platbands and 4 windows on side of the lane with capstones. Three windows in the middle of the second floor — semi-circular. They were at the level of a solemn assembly hall. Window designs on the second floor are limited to a parapet which leans on rectangular pilasters. At extreme windows is triangular сандрик with arms. Windows were constructed with an internal sun blind. The crowning eaves are decorated with cloves.[4]
In 1889 for improvement of the appearance of the house, on the project of the architect S. Gushchin on the central part of the building, there was the poorly acting projection which crowned a triangular pediment.[4]
