The building will soon have information plates, which are now being prepared by students of Pskov State University.
The residential building at 4 Georgievskaya Street was founded at the end of the 18th century. Having bought the mansion, Bekleshov built on a wooden residential floor, leaving medieval basements in the basement. The facades of the building were designed in the style of late classicism. Despite the fact that the original appearance of the house changed many times, over time it became part of the coastal landscape of the Velikaya River. The mansion began to be depicted on postcards and lithographs.
