House number 13 on the modern Kommunalnaya Street previously belonged to merchants Alexander and Stepan Tolmachev. In the 19th century, there was a popular confectionery store here, run by the owners themselves. Today, this building houses the confectionery and culinary shop "Skazka."

Architecturally, this one-story stone building, elongated along Kommunalnaya Street, combines elements of classical architecture and Art Nouveau. The southern facade, symmetrical, plastered, and painted, has nine light axes and looks very festive. The main decoration of the facade is large arched windows, each framed with a lintel and adorned with a keystone. Originally, the wall above the windows was made of brickwork. In the upper part between the windows is a small medallion, from which five pendants descend, increasing in length towards the center. The entrance risalit with three axes is located in the center of the main facade and is decorated with two large arched windows with keystones, between which is the grand entrance (originally arched), pilasters, and an attic wall.

The pilasters, framing the plane of the main facade, are rusticated at the edges, while the central part is adorned with five pendants. The upper part of the pilasters is decorated with two plaster consoles, each with small round rosettes. The rosette on the eastern pilaster is missing. The pilasters are topped with a pediment of radiating outline with a slot that repeats the contour of the element. The facade is crowned with an unusual shaped attic, the central part of which was previously emphasized by fluted columns (now lost) with the inscription "1837" between them. The decorative composition on the wall of the main facade consists of parapet pedestals and grilles on both sides of the attic. Originally, each pedestal was decorated with a narrow panel with a round rosette. The wavy cornice was originally absent.

The eastern and northern facades, unplastered, are almost devoid of decoration and feature light openings of radiating outline with pediments (partly bricked up) and a simple crowning cornice.
