The urban estate of a merchant from Chistopol, furrier Rodion Martemyanovich Kopylov, is characteristic of the construction in Novonikolaevsk at the beginning of the 20th century. It represents a transition from a folk dwelling to an urban apartment building with several apartments.
The large two-story mixed-type house is located at the corner of the intersection of streets and faces south and east towards the red lines of 1905 Street (formerly Resettlement Street) and Krasnoyarskaya Street. In the courtyard of this house, there once stood a log stable, which later changed its function and is now lost.
To the rectangular volume of the house, two-story cold porches adjoin from the north side. The walls of the first floor are made of brick on a rubble foundation, while the second floor is made of logs, hewn "in paw" and covered with profiled planking. The roof is four-pitched, metal, with a truss structure. The building has a basement. The decor of the house combines elements of traditional folk architecture and professional architecture of the 20th century.
The facades of the house are asymmetrical. The southern facade features a pentagonal balcony on the second floor, covered with a dome and spire, supported by powerful braces that visually emphasize the main entrance (now converted into a window). The western facade has a porch for the second entrance with a canopy styled like a balcony.
The decor of the first floor is concise. A horizontal beam runs along the bottom of the window openings, framed by brick lintels. The upper lintel is adorned with a keystone. The brick part is topped with a cornice with a slight overhang and a belt of small bricks.
On the second floor, the decor includes traditional floral ornaments. The windows of the second floor are evenly spaced and framed with lintels featuring a profiled keystone finish, decorated with applied and carved ornamentation. Pilasters, a frieze, and a traditional cornice with three-part division complement the decor of the wooden part of the facade. The southern and western facades are accentuated by gables with a "sun" rosette.
Inside, round stoves have been preserved, along with decorative plaster rosettes and arches on the ceilings of the second floor. The territory of the building is enclosed by a brick fence with a forged top. Metal gates with an arched finish and forged elements adjoin the western facade.
