The house at the corner of Gubernatorskaya Street (now Nekrasova) and Novgorodskaya Street (now Karl Marx) first appeared on the plans of Pskov in the late 18th century. In the late 1860s, the plot was acquired by merchant of the 1st guild Pyotr Kalashnikov, owner of a wine and vodka factory and the Korytovo estate.

In 1868, Pyotr Petrovich was elected city mayor. Two years later, he was re-elected to this position and awarded a gold medal "For Diligence," which was to be worn around the neck on an Annen ribbon.

On November 28, 1869, Kalashnikov submitted a petition to Governor Mikhail Kahanov on behalf of the residents of Pskov for the construction of a permanent bridge over the Velikaya River (now Olginsky), attaching a document about the inconveniences of the floating crossing and the spring ferry, which struggled to make 6-8 trips a day with eight peasant carts.

On January 4, 1870, the governor sent a letter to the Minister of Transport. Despite appeals from the city Duma and the governor, the ministries of transport and internal affairs responded that 150,000 rubles for the construction of the bridge could not be allocated due to its local significance and lack of funds. Construction only began in 1909, after many years of searching for financing and coordinating the project.

In addition to his work in the Duma, Kalashnikov was a member of the local administration of the Russian Red Cross Society. In 1877, during the Russo-Turkish War, he managed hospitals for the wounded in Pskov. For this, he was awarded a gold medal "For Special Services to the Red Cross Society."

In 1871, Kalashnikov's property on Gubernatorskaya Street was valued at 8,800 rubles. Since the assessed value did not change until 1917, it can be assumed that no new buildings were erected. Documents described the Kalashnikov "courtyard" as a stone two-story house, commercial storerooms, and outbuildings. The mansion is an example of "exemplary" construction of mature classicism and represents a model of the "corner" type of architecture in Pskov.

The construction life of the city in the late 18th and early 19th centuries was strictly regulated. In 1879, Governor Zuev indicated that no new log could be laid without his knowledge. Supervision of construction was entrusted to provincial architects, such as I. Parfentyev, I. Albrecht, and others, who were the authors of most building projects of that time.

Construction was carried out according to "exemplary" projects from St. Petersburg, which allowed for the creation of a stylistically cohesive urban ensemble. Houses of the "corner" type, such as those on Gubernatorskaya Street, had rounded corners and uniform treatment of facades facing the street.

Kalashnikov's stone house was about 23 meters long, about 19 meters wide, and about six meters high. The mansion had 13 rooms, three Russian and six Dutch tiled stoves. All rooms were wallpapered, which at that time was an expensive pleasure.

The house and garden were separated from prying eyes by a fence with gates and a wicket. Remnants of fruit trees were preserved until the 1950s.

Before the October Revolution, the heirs of the Kalashnikovs sold the house to Dmitry Baryshnikov. During the Great Patriotic War, the mansion was partially destroyed. By 1948, the building was restored as a departmental residential building of the "Pskovstroy" trust. In 1957, the house was transferred to the Pskov housing and communal office, and after 1960, to the City Housing Management. The semi-basement premises housed sewing workshops and a hairdresser.

By now, the architectural decoration of the interiors has been almost completely lost, except for the hall on the second floor, where the old cornice has been preserved.
