The mansion, built in 1889 by a Tomsk architect, belonged to merchant Vasily Andreyevich Krichevtsov. He was actively involved in logging and owned a pharmacy management with pharmacy warehouses. Krichevtsov was an energetic person and conducted extensive trade, with annual revenues reaching 300-400 thousand rubles. The main direction of his business was the trade of cattle, which brought in about 100 thousand rubles annually. However, his true passion was horses, which he was more interested in as an enthusiast than as a trader. Thanks to his efforts, by 1894, the Biysk district became one of the leaders in Siberia in terms of the number of horses.

The Krichevtsov Mansion, built during the active construction of Biysk, is a one-story building made of red brick with a particularly beautiful facade. It is adorned with relief jagged elements and arched details with columns. Located at the intersection of two streets, the building has always played an important role in the city's architecture. It is an example of a residential house with elements of a manor from the late 19th century, executed in an eclectic style with elements of Baroque and pseudo-Russian style. Part of the building was used as a hotel.

After the arrival of Soviet power, the building was nationalized and transferred to pharmacy management. Since the early 2000s, it has been rented by the 'Biysk Center for the Development of Folk Crafts,' which planned reconstruction but was unable to carry it out. Subsequently, the mansion was handed over to the regional Cossack center 'Shapovalov Order' with the condition of restoring the monument. There were plans to create a youth center where Eastern martial arts, artistic crafts, and musical creativity could develop, but this task proved too challenging.

Over time, the building was partially restored, but its overall condition remains unsatisfactory. The mansion has significantly deteriorated and needs strengthening and repairs.
