referring to the original text in Russian

Olga Libih's five-story building was built in 1905 by architect Liival. The facade of the building is uniformly divided into windows. The asymmetrical composition of the facade - to the right an extension, to the left a projection. The building is decorated with the selection of materials - a dark rusticated granite on the ground floor, a pink stucco and a small number of light decorative details.

Plot 14 belonged to choirmaster Illa Tomilov in the 1740s, who was a singing teacher for Anna Leopoldovna. In its place was a choir building and worker's huts. In February 1781, sea captain Danila Viktorovich Proval sold the plot, and in the summer of 1781, the plot was bought by college counselor of the Medical College Iurii Danilovich Hayman. In 1789, the courtyard passed from Hayman to his wife, who had a stone house built there. Afterwards it was owned by merchant Bilonov. From 1825 it was owned by merchant Fedorov. In 1858 the plot was bought by watchmaker Geid. Several times the two-story house was rebuilt and repaired.

In 1886 the plot was bought by the wife of doctor of medicine Olga Ivanovna Libih, the house belonged to her and her heirs until 1916. In 1898 architect Gecker built a four-story rear wing.

A five-story facade was built instead of the old one in 1905 by architect Liival. The interior was decorated with a gray granite and plaster.

The rear wing, where architect Niidermier lived in the 1910s, is made of a light brick and decorated with neo-Baroque features.

In 1916 the house was sold to commercial counselor Vergaft.
