Historical background
The house is adapted for communal housing. Together with the residential outbuilding on Sakko Street, 17, it forms an estate.
Description
The wooden residential house, covered with planks, is built as a large two-story seven-wall structure, with entrances from the courtyard. The building is attractive due to its unique carved decoration based on local traditions. As in other Tyumen houses, the focus of the decor is the window frames. Strict in form, they are complemented by high window sills decorated with stylized plant ornamentation of blind bas-relief carving. A fine herbal pattern in the form of cross-woven flexible flowering stems forms a rich and at the same time balanced composition, giving the boards an emphatically decorative character. Above each upper window, a figured finial is placed on top of the profiled sandrik. Together with the carved sill panels, the entire composition of the windows gives the impression of harmony and elegance. The pilasters-bars covering the joints of the logs are decorated with figured panels, and at the top they are finished with elegant stylized capitals of applied modeled carving.
