It was built as a double-chamber one-storied Armenian house, almost square in its plan, with a basement. In the XVI - the middle of the XVII centuries, a new building had been built on to it from the west, it reiterated the double-chamber planning of the old one, and building became right-angled with facing orientation relatively to the street. In 1722, it was rebuilt: above the eastern part one more storey of the skeleton construction with an open gallery on the same level was built.
It is two-storied, right-angled (15.3x9.2 m). The walls of the ground floor are stone, the walls of the first floor are stone in the western part , in the eastern part they are of the skeleton construction. The basement under the eastern (ancient) part of the building has separate entrance from the southern front and it is divided along the axis north-west- south-east into 2 rooms. The ground floor is divided into parts by the stone wall in the direction of north-east-south-west. The fronts within the basement and the first floor are not plastered, the first floor is plastered. The window openings have white-stone and plastered aprons. In the interior of one of the beams of the covering the inscription with the name of the owner and the date of the repairs - 1722 has remained. In 1981, it was restored. The building is given back the look as it has at the beginning of the XVIII century.
The monument belongs to the buildings with early two-chamber planning.
