The building was originally erected by the Tambov merchant Vladimir Mikhailovich Seleznev in the mid-19th century as a residential house. The Seleznev family was actively engaged in grocery trading in Tambov and owned shops on Bazaar Square.

According to archival data, in the late 19th century (1890s), the house belonged to the Vologins family. In the early 20th century, it was reconstructed at the request of the new owner, Pyotr Ilyich Mikhailov.

In 1918, the estate was nationalized and housed a special department of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) under the leadership of V.N. Podbelsky. During the peasant uprising in Tambov, the coordination of the fight against the rebels, interrogations of the arrested, and executions were carried out here.

After the Special Department ceased operations, the building housed a departmental orphanage of the 'Revtrod' factory, and later a kindergarten, which operated until the late 1970s. In the late 1970s, Tambov architect Galina Lunykina reconstructed the mansion for the wedding palace.

The building is one and a half stories high, made of brick, elongated in depth, and has a complex plan formed by several volumes. The main rectangular volume with a semicircular bay window on the west side is located on the street. It is adjoined by an elongated volume, which includes the reconstructed services from the 19th century. These two parts of the building belong to the original volumes of the monument. The northern volume was added in the 1980s during the last reconstruction.

The decor is done in the Art Nouveau style with elements of Baroque. The center of the three-axial main part of the main facade is highlighted by a two-column portico with a broken architrave. Between the columns is a wide window and a balcony with an elegant cast-iron railing. The western part of the facade, where the main entrance is located, is slightly lowered. Above the facade rises a straight stepped attic with a broken center. The eastern facade, facing the square, is divided into several parts of varying heights. The basement floor is separated by a cornice, and shelves are located between the windows. Large windows are adorned with original figured over-window and under-window panels. The western facade has more expressive plasticity due to the recessed part of the wing. The main volume in the center is accentuated by a semicircular projection with a high attic. The right southern part of the facade is three-axial, elevated, and finished with a lattice. The left part, one-axial, is completed with a straight attic with an elevation. A complex configuration is attached to the recessed part of the facade.
