In the last century, this building was home to merchant Anisim Bezobrazov, who dealt in stationery, student supplies, and bookbinding materials. The house is one of the most vivid examples of residential architecture in Borisoglebsk from the early 20th century, distinguished by its ornate neoclassical facade. This one-story brick building has a rectangular shape and extends deep into the courtyard. On the eastern side, there are vestibules with two entrances: one leading to the street and the other to the courtyard. From the vestibules, a brick fence with a gate and doors stretches eastward. Attached to the southern side of the house is a building from the mid-20th century. The decor of the main facade, consisting of five axes, is very rich. The base is separated from the walls by a profiled shelf. The facade is adorned with panelled pilasters featuring rosette ornaments and a wide frieze with decorative brackets that separate the metopes, also decorated with rosettes. The rusticated walls are rhythmically pierced by windows with arched lintels, framed by wide profiled moldings and half-frames with triangular pediments, as well as decorated with plant ornaments. The windows are flanked by fluted pilasters with garlands. Between the pilasters are window panels with squares. Above the crowning cornice rises a parapet made of brick columns with a metal grille of spikes and spirals. The front wall of the vestibules rises to the level of the frieze on the main facade and is topped with a through parapet. Above the double-leaf panel door is a gabled canopy on decorative brackets. The tympanum under the canopy, its ribs and ridge are adorned with fine metal ornamentation. Scaly downspouts and original chimney pots in the shape of vases have been preserved. Other facades are topped with a cornice similar to the main one. Inside the house, along the main facade are the reception rooms, while on the courtyard side, on both sides of the corridor, are living and utility spaces. In the central hall, plaster cornices, corners, and rosettes with plant ornaments have been preserved. In one of the side rooms with a built-in window overlooking the courtyard, there are two corner Dutch-type tiled stoves. They are two-part, reaching the full height of the room, with light green tiles and a modern style pattern featuring complex plant scrolls and acanthus. The parquet oak floor has been preserved.
