In the 1860s the mansion became the property of the widow of the titular counselor Nadezhda Ivkova. At the end of the 19th century the house changed the owner again: the personal honorary citizen of Taganrog Vasily Vlasovich Skizerli became him. Some part of rooms of the house of Skizerli was allocated for needs of the Russian Society of insurance and transportation klady. The cost of the building was estimated at 12 thousand rubles.
