The "Kryvolutsky House" is a two-story building made of red brick, built in 1870. Its facade is divided into three parts, emphasized by brick pilasters. The upper part of the house is adorned with an attic featuring a round window in the attic. Decorative elements of the facades include pilasters, cornices, ornamental masonry in the middle part of the second floor, and an iron balcony. The windows on the second floor have semi-circular tops. On the left side of the building, at the first floor level, there is an arched passage to the courtyard, while on the right side, a false arch with a window that used to be a door. Some windows on the side walls of the building are bricked up. Adjacent to the house from the courtyard side is a two-story brick extension with a wide rounded staircase made of white stone leading to the second floor.

According to the memories of his daughter, this house housed the art school of Sergey Ivanovich Kryvolutsky. He rented the premises for classes and an apartment for his family on the second floor. The artist's workshop was located in the central room of the second floor with access to the balcony. To the left of it, above the passage to the courtyard, were the classrooms, and to the right, the family's apartment.

According to documents from the Kozlov District Zemstvo Administration, the house was located in the "stone quarter, letter 'B'." This quarter mainly consisted of two-story merchant houses, which were used by their owners as income-generating properties, rented out for shops, housing, and various institutions.
