    The wholesale merchant's house is one of the brightest examples of residential architecture of the city of the early 20th century with an elegant facade decoration in the spirit of neoclassicism. The decor of the main facade is very rich. From the east, a vestibule adjoins the house. From the vestibule to the east there is a brick fence with a wicket and gates. Inside the building, the original layout and two corner tiled Dutch stoves with a light green plant pattern have been preserved.

    Today, the building houses the Children's Art School.

    The name of the merchant Anisim Vasilyevich Bezobrazov was familiar to every Borisoglebsk resident in the last century. He sold office supplies, school supplies, and bookbinding supplies. In the 19th - early 20th centuries, the names of merchants themselves were a guarantee of the quality of the goods or products they offered for the townspeople. Shops and stalls were located on the central streets of the city: Bolshaya, Dvoryanskaya, Novobazarnaya Square. There were no house numbers, the cab driver only had to say: Bezobrazov's store, Kislyakov's, Ivanov's, etc., and they would take you where you needed to go. Trade was carried out daily, without days off. Goods were offered at reasonable prices and of the best quality.

    Merchant Bezobrazov was one of the first to build a power station in the city. Anisim Vasilyevich lived with his wife Pelageya for more than 40 years. Although not beautiful in appearance, Pelageya had a kind disposition, an open heart, was calm and reasonable. Every day, after the morning church service in the Transfiguration Cathedral, Pelageya fed about 20 beggars at her place, dressed and shod those of them who had nothing. Despite her wealth, she dressed very modestly. In Borisoglebsk, everyone knew her and respected her for her great mercy. The Bezobrazovs were friends with their neighbors, who lived opposite - the merchants Batyrevs.
