In the construction of Nizhne-Pokrovskoya street the House of Peter I has always stood out for its architecture. In its design there are baroque elements. The planes of the walls are cut through by high window openings with profile cornices, on the north side, on either side of the doorway, there were decorative niches. The western facade is completed with a figured attic, which replaced the old baroque franton. But the most spectacular element is the main entrance doors, decorated with floral ornaments and having two mascaron - decorative relief in the form of a human mask. Today we know the names of the owners of this building in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. According to the bill of 1818, it belonged to the Sinebutov family. After the death of the owner of the house, Ivan Sinebut, his widow sold the building to Colonel Lyudvig Ivanovich Shteres. After some time Vasily Andreyevich Sobolevsky became the new owner of the building but not for long. Soon he sold his property to a titular adviser Andrei Vasilyevich Kamenkov. In the second half of the 19th century the building belonged to the Wittenberg family. And the last known owner of the House of Peter I from 1871 to 1917 was the famous Polotsk banker, director of the Mutual Credit Society, Beniamin Lazarevich Barkan. In addition to this building he owned several more buildings in the city center.
