History

In the same year he purchased a large plot of land on the corner of Trinity and Alexander street.
The project involved the construction of a building with rooms for classrooms, libraries, reading rooms and a concert hall. On 8 September 1902 the structure was consecrated.
The cost of construction was 222,173,134 rubles, while the value of domestic equipment was 9267.97 rubles.
