In 1890, two-story stone commercial buildings were erected in Biysk at the intersection of the market square and Trade Street, owned by Agnia Mefodievna Zilberbart, née Gileva. Their operation began in July 1896.

After 1909, the estate passed to Mikhail Petrovich Klevtsov, a local petty bourgeois and a member of the city Duma in 1912 and 1915, a first-guild merchant who sold manufactured goods. During this period, the building was remodeled and extended along Trade Street. The architecture of the building is in an eclectic style with elements of Russian style, and the street facades are adorned with rich decor, some of which has survived to this day. The passage was considered the most fashionable store in Biysk. During the February Revolution, Klevtsov provided premises for the Altai People's University. From 1924 to 1941, it first housed the city library, then Biysk agricultural machinery, and later a school for collective farm personnel. During the Great Patriotic War, an evacuation hospital was organized in the building.

Since 2005, the building has not been used, and its condition was deemed unsatisfactory. In December 2012, it passed into the ownership of the city. The administration of Biysk held an auction for the sale of municipal property, during which the cultural heritage object 'Klevtsov Passage' built in 1890 was sold for 3.7 million rubles. The building and the land plot were sold as a single lot, with the new owner paying only 1 ruble and 18 kopecks for the building, and 3.7 million rubles for the plot of 1660 square meters. The new owner became entrepreneur Yegor Dochilov, who was to carry out restoration work over seven years, agreed upon with the Altai Krai State Heritage Protection Department.
