This is an Armenian house. It has an adjacent boundary wall with the neighbouring house #13. In the second half of the XVII century, it was a part of the estate and confined it from the north. It had three-piece structure: the western, vaulted room faced the street, the middle one served as a living room, the eastern one faced the back of the estate. The basement in the main part had the same planning. In the XVIII-XIX centuries, the house was rebuilt for several times. In the middle of the XIX century, its southern elevation was decorated with a four-columned empire portico. During the Great Patriotic War, the house was damaged. As a result of the post-war repairs its decor was modified.
It is stone, the southern and western elevations are plastered. It consists of two buildings: the western one is �ne-storied with a "scarcement" remote risalites and a portico, placed between them on the southern elevation; the eastern one is two-storied, almost square in plan. The suite of three rooms is located along the northern wall of the western building of the house, it makes up its ancient pert (the vaults remained). Three rooms of the basement, covered with torispherical vaults with strikings correspond in planning to this group of the rooms. The windows are framed with plastered window aprons of a simple shape, the embrasures in the portico have the window aprons of much complex shape, they are decorated with an ornament in the upper part. The principal cornice is of considerable projection and developed �rofiling.
The monument is an example of city estate of the XVIII century with well-preserved Medieval structure.
