The house is massive, built in the style of “neoclassicism” in the early twentieth century. Today, friezes, beautiful cornices and medallions depicting a child’s or woman’s head with a hat and wings on them, as well as small cones for decoration are still preserved. The building is built on two floors, the first half-dug.
The house was built in 1920 and belongs to Petar Keremedchiev (called Kel Petrake) – a large landowner, a grain grower, one of the leading figures among the Bulgarians in Tutrakan during the Romanian occupation.
