The building is located in the southern part of the street, set back from the red line. Previously, there was a site with a round flowerbed in front of it. It was built in the early 20th century and combines various eclectic styles with bright forms of early modernism in its expressive appearance.
To the east, a wooden glazed veranda adjoins the one-story rectangular brick volume, which extends deep into the courtyard. To the north, there is an entrance porch from the courtyard, and to the west, an open terrace with a semicircular staircase in front of the main entrance. To the north, the main facade continues with gates featuring brick pillars and metal lattice gates in the modern style.
The composition of the facades consists of parts with different stylistic forms, including Russian and Eastern styles, elements of classicism, and modernism. The main facade is conditionally divided into three parts. The central entrance part is highlighted by a portico with two Tuscan columns on pedestals, connected by an elegant balustrade, which supports an entablature with triglyphs and metopes in the frieze. Above the cornice rises a four-pitched roof of the epancha type with an ornate crest and peaks. The facade part of the roof is complemented by a metal cartouche with a keel-shaped top. The columns of the portico frame the entrance opening with a double-leaf door, the upper part of which is glazed, while the panels and glazing have smooth outlines. The portal is similar to the lintels of three closely located windows with trapezoidal transoms. The spandrels, lintels, and frieze in this part of the facade are decorated with graphic ornamentation featuring Eastern motifs. The decoration includes ceramic inserts and multicolored plaster. This finely detailed part of the facade contrasts with the curving grand staircase, the massive concrete railing of which resembles a frozen wave. The southern and central parts of the facade are united by a terrace, the canopy of which begins from the portico and is supported at the corner by a third Tuscan column. The balustrade in this section is replaced by a plastered parapet with round overlays and a wavy profile. The southern section of the wall is pierced by a large horseshoe-shaped window, in the glazing of which the keel motif predominates. All parts of the facade are united by common decorative elements: multicolored ceramic inserts, stepped overlays on the pilasters, a base cornice with frequent brackets, and an ornate parapet grille in the modern style. The courtyard's northern facade is plastered. In front of the entrance, there is a porch with a gabled canopy on wooden carved columns. The windows here are rectangular, without lintels. A large three-part window with a glazing pattern of horseshoe elements stands out. The lattice of the eastern veranda consists of circles and rectangles.
Inside, the original layout has been preserved. The entrance from the street leads to a central corridor directed towards the veranda. On both sides of the corridor are two reception rooms. In the southern room, with a horseshoe-shaped window, a magnificent corner fireplace with tiled facing has been preserved. It consists of two parts: a wide lower part, finished with a cornice, and an upper part, also finished with a cornice and topped with a peculiar crown. The tiles are colorful, with a complex floral ornament. The ceilings of the reception rooms feature plaster cornices and rosettes.
The building houses an art gallery.
