The image showcases a magnificent example of wooden architecture in the Russian style of the late 19th century, combining elements of Art Nouveau with traditional Russian wooden decorative patterns. This exquisite mansion features rich carved ornamentation characteristic of the "Russian style" or "Ropet style" architectural movement.
The facade of the building is striking with its abundance of carved details and decorative elements. The central feature is a tall pointed gable with intricate openwork carving and a circular rose window adorned with a star-shaped ornament. Particularly noteworthy is the elegant decorative carving covering the gable and cornices. The side sections of the facade are complemented by a turret with a spire and several dormer windows with distinctive triangular tops.
The main part of the facade is executed in light colors and includes a row of rectangular windows with fine mullions, framed by carved platbands. The architectural composition is enhanced by a balcony with openwork balusters and carved supports. Decorative columns and pilasters with carved capitals are also visible, supporting the projecting elements of the structure.
Of special value is the preserved "pierced" carving — openwork ornaments created with a jigsaw, giving the building airiness and elegance despite its impressive size. The roof is covered with metal or tiles, which was typical for wealthy dacha constructions of that period.
