The walls of the building are made of red ceramic bricks and were later painted dark red, preserving the relief of the masonry. The facade facing Proletarsky Lane (formerly Dvoryansky) has a symmetrical structure. In the center and at the edges of the facade are shallow risalits. The upper part of the facade is adorned with an entablature featuring a flat architrave and frieze, as well as a simple cornice. Above the bay windows rise triangular pediments. Behind them, within the risalits, are parapet walls with rectangular projections, on which are located the sandriks. The walls are bordered by parapet columns, and between them are rows of vertical rectangular niches.
In the late 19th century, there was a stone house belonging to G.P. Eramasov, a merchant from Syzran, who traded in bread, fish, and horses. In 1878, the city postal service was established in Syzran, and the authorities rented Eramasov's house to house the post and telegraph office. A review in 1898 noted that "the post and telegraph office occupies a sufficiently spacious and very convenient rented premises." With the advent of the telegraph network in 1899, the city used Eramasov's second house nearby for the telegraph station.
After the revolution, until 1929, the building continued to be used for its intended purpose. Then the office and station were moved to the former trading house of Permyakova. Since 1929, these buildings have housed a boarding school for deaf-mute children.
