During Socialism, the first floor hosted at first a pharmacy and then the city bookstore, from which Tutrakans bought books for their home libraries. In 1997, based on a court decision, the store was restored to the owners. The second floor remains municipal property. Research on the house continues.

The house is a two-storey massive building built of baked bricks, the original color is dark pink. Overlooking the main street, the second floor has four beautiful windows with vertical pilasters around them, with a wrought iron terrace combined with horizontal cornices typical of post-Liberation urban architecture.
