The present structure dates from 1898 and was built by the architect, A. V. Malov in honour of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the school, being completed in 1900. The building belonged to the Ministry of Public Education. Within the school is the chapel of St. Sergius of Radonezh, created mainly through donations from parents of pupils attending the school. The Chapel was consecrated in 1902 by Bishop Innocent Narva. The chapel was large enough to accommodate a congregation of 600 persons and occupied the centre of the top floor, next to the Assembly Hall, separated by a sliding partition. The chapel existed until 1918. The building, today is still operated as a school. Music: From the Allegro Moderato of the Sonata for Violin & Piano by M. Glinka
