The house is small, built in a bondruk system, like an umbrella, covered with shingles. It was built, then on the outskirts of Leskovac, by Kostin's father StankoStamenković around 1890. After the entrance to the central part, there are two rooms, and on the west side, a space was later added for the Užara workshop - ćerana.

In the rooms to the left and right of the entrance are the memorial rooms of KostaStamenković and his daughter LepšaStamenković, also revolutionaries and communists with their personal belongings. Documents and photographs show the development of the workers' movement from 1918 to 1942 in the hall. The ceranais entered from the yard through a single-leaf wooden door with a cut. The floor is made of earth, and the ceiling is made of wood.
