House in Bolshoi Tolmachevsky pereulok was built 1807 for podporujici Ekaterina Pubic. Since 1852 it belonged to merchants Medyntsev, since 1861 — merchants Losev.

Originally the mansion was U-shaped in plan. In the 1850s, extensions were made from the yard. In the 1860s, the mezzanine, where the loggia was built, was redesigned. At the beginning of the XXI century the mansion was restored. Now it houses the representative office of the Altai territory.

The house has two floors and a wooden mezzanine. The Central part of the mansion is allocated with a small risalit and a fluted pilaster portico of the second floor, topped with a frieze with metopes and triglyphs.
