The photograph showcases an old wooden house with characteristic features of Russian provincial architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century. This two-story building with a mansard roof is partially damaged, revealing wooden rafters underneath. The façade demonstrates a mixture of traditional and decorative elements typical of wooden architecture of that period.
Particularly notable are the window frames with semi-circular arched tops and expressive woodcarving. The façade is painted in a light green (turquoise) color, which was common for merchant and middle-class houses of that era. The lower floor features white finishing, creating a contrast with the upper part of the building. Decorative elements such as carved platbands and cornices highlight the architectural style of the structure.
Signs of age and deterioration are evident: cracked paint, roof damage, and a general state of neglect. The building likely holds historical value as an example of traditional urban development but requires restoration. The electric pole and modern road signs in front of the house create a contrast between historical heritage and contemporary infrastructure.
