A brick residential house and shop in Kokshetau, this eclectic structure reflects the architectural eclecticism and Russian Revival influences that characterized late-imperial commercial buildings in the region. Built for merchant A. V. Sokolov, it exemplifies the hybrid style typical of provincial Russian Empire architecture, blending revivalist elements with practical commercial design. The building served the dual function of residence and retail space, a common arrangement for prosperous merchants of its era.
