Levashov’s House is a unique monument of wooden architecture of the first half of the 19^th century, representing a town manor of the nobility, built in the Empire style. Parts of the external decoration of the mansion, made entirely of wood, reproduce the motives of stone architecture. The walls are slated with wide hewn planks, simulating a ribbon rustication on the ground floor.

The main south façade, facing the street, on the level of the second floor is decorated with an eight-columned portico of the Ionic order, which is topped with a triangular pediment. Interestingly, the wooden columns actually have twice the height and are based on the foundation on the ground level, not on the ground floor arcade made of hewn boards. Crowning the house cornices are overhanging and are decorated with rectangular projections - dentils. Inside the arches of the ground floor windows are placed. Above the windows of the first floor head moldings and carved appliques are put. They have a form of three braided wreaths, strung on a spear, which is entwined with a garland of leaves and ribbons, or of three medallions with rosettes inside them and palmettes on each side.

In the center of both side facades the windows of the ground floor are decorated with a five-part lock, and window openings on the first floor are embedded in the arched niches, forming an arcade. The outermost windows of the symmetrical side facades are false. Along the perimeter of the whole building an interfloor cornice is located. The interior of the building has preserved brick ovens with the Empire-style decor.

Order forms, masterfully transferred to the wooden architecture from stone architecture, have an effect of a monumental, solid structure with a relatively small actual volume of the building.

In 1861-1863 Konstantin Alexandrovich Levashov made an overhaul of the building. During it the transfer of the front entrance from the side of the main façade, and building of a metal canopy on forged brackets over it were made. The main staircase was rebuilt.

In the middle of the twentieth century the Levashovs’ carved coat of arms in the tympanum of the pediment was dismantled.

At the turn of the 20^th – 21^st centuries the building was fully renovated, and the gates were restored.

In 2013, through the funding of our project partner, the communications and mobile operator Tele2, an information plate containing a QR-code was installed on the house.
