Peculiar, and so strikingly different from the other buildings, the view of a mansion that formerly belonged to the engineer of means of communication, who built the TRANS-Siberian railway, S. N. The Karachayevo. The building was designed by the military engineer and architect, critic and theorist Vladimir Episcopum. It was his first serious job. Great influence on the project was provided by the works of von Gogen A. I., it can also be seen in the dynamic layout inside the building, and in the definition of the geometry of the outer volumes. Adds the similarities the presence of a winter garden with a glass roof. V. P. Apyshkov used to furnish such materials as the background Gauguin: brick light color, blocks of granite, the tile frieze in bluish colours.

But although V. P. Apyshkov and followed the principles that were used by von Gogen, but he developed a completely different, own, space-planning structure. Distinctive features of this structure were: the rational organization of the internal space; a bold articulation of volumes; composite movements are striving for the Central part of the building; the objects are linked by diagonal axis; the axis represents their resultant.

According to the basic concepts of the structure Apyshkov, hall with high ceilings is a vertical rod, which is threaded layout of all floors of the building. It is a kind of spatial kernel, because this creates the illusion of solidity to all volumetric forms of the building. One form of a continuation of the other. Created Episcopum architectural work was assigned to the vertices of Russian art Nouveau. They were preceded many of the techniques and principles that have become inherent in the twenties of the twentieth century, avant-garde architecture.

One of the new architectural solutions found Episcopum, was the use of dynamic diagonal axis, with which he combined a few of expanding cylindrical shape. The increase of these cylinders is sequentially. A narrow spiral staircase and vestibule were placed by the architect in the outer cylinder first. The inner cylinder is a room consisting of three tiers, which principal function is to provide communication between the rooms belonging to different areas and groups at home. To use a Central circular hall Apyshkov pushed the desire of the future owner of the house to avoid the darkness in the corridors. The first floor of the hall was reserved for the reception, ring-shaped balcony was intended as a picture gallery. On the third floor dining room posted for staff. Natural lighting was carried out through the skylight in the center. In the lower room, the light falls through the glass floor.

The shape of the rear facade of the mansion have a clear composition. When viewed from the street to the winter garden, you can see the transparent cylindrical shape that is semicircular angular amount and harmoniously correlated with the straight lines of the building.

Interior design combines the features of both the classical and modernist. Venetian secession (stucco on vegetable-themed wreaths with female masks) can be traced in the decor. The corner of the main facade was first decorated with a female figure, then it was dismantled.

New style proposed Episcopum allowed for a mixture of motives, in different styles. Influence on the choice of style has had the furniture that the owner of the house.

At various times the building has been subjected to changes implemented by optionally changing owners. Sometimes these changes are brought disharmony in the overall appearance of the building. For example, in 1914, an extension was made to the rear facade, the original composition was violated. In our time some of the Windows were bricked.

Currently, the building is the dental clinic.
