In 1830, the Merchant Society, with the assistance of the mayor N.I. Kusov and the military governor-general gr. P.K. Essen decided to build an almshouse for 200 people on the outskirts, by collecting “1% from merchant capital”.

The building was founded on June 21, 1831 by Bishop Nikanor of Revel. The project was drawn up by the architect A.F. Shchedrin (son famous sculptor F. F. Shchedrin). Construction lasted two years, and on July 9, 1833, Metropolitan Seraphim consecrated the institution along with the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (in honor of the reigning Emperor Nicholas I), which was located on the second floor in the center of the main facade.

For the maintenance of the establishment, the Merchant Society donated annually a quarter of a kopeck from the ruble of capital declared by the merchants; Personal donations were also accepted. The establishment was under the personal patronage of the emperor.

Elderly and crippled persons of both sexes, assigned to the St. Petersburg merchant and bourgeois class, were accepted into the House of Charity. They also accepted, in case of vacancies, artisans, and 10 people - elderly coachmen (the latter were accepted under an agreement with the Yamskaya Sloboda Society, which was located nearby). The application for admission to a charity home must be accompanied by a certificate of residence in the capital, a certificate of the applicant’s condition and behavior. At the expense of benefactors, boarders were accepted here in excess of the staff for a fee of 200 rubles. per year and 50 rub. one-time “for establishment”.

All those in custody were provided with uniforms, linen and shoes. In the rooms, designed as an enfilade, there were 16-20 beds with bedside tables, and tables and chairs near the windows. The table was common, separate for men's and women's sections, hearty, with cabbage soup, pies and kvass. If those looked after by society were able, they were obliged to sew and knit dresses and underwear, sew shoes, and help in cooking. In the workshops of the charity house they spun flax, hemp and wool, made brushes, toys, paint brushes, rugs, etc. These products were sold either to the institution itself, or “outside”, for the pocket money of those in charity.

In 1842-1843, a fence was built along the street (now only a stone base remains of it), and in front of the entrance there was a chapel with a bell tower (now used as a transformer box).


The charity home is gradually beginning to expand its scope of activity. A hospital with 30 beds was founded under him. In 1839-1841, A.F. Shchedrin added an eastern wing to the building,

and in 1842-1844 - western.

Later, both wings were connected by passages to the main building.

Two schools for orphans were opened in them - respectively, the Nikolaev Trade School for boys and the Alexandrinskaya (in honor of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna) commercial school for girls.

In 1855, the almshouse was named Nikolaevskaya and began to accommodate 500 people. Subsequently, an orphanage was opened under her. In 1868, architect. N.P. Grebenka expanded the church at the expense of the neighboring chamber, so that up to 1000 pilgrims could pray in it. In 1881, in memory of Alexander II, two large marble icon cases with unquenchable lamps were erected.

Another reconstruction of the building took place in 1879. Architects N. A. Melnikov and A. G. Gronvald expanded it and added a bath building, and in 1882-1883, for early liturgies, as well as for funeral services for the dead, N. A. Melnikov built a small Church of the Intercession, which was located near the right wing , behind the main building, and was connected to it by a passage.

In the early 1900s, deductions from merchant capital for the maintenance of the almshouse were increased to one kopeck per ruble, and in 1905, on the 75th anniversary of the House of Charity, its capital reached 2 million rubles. In 1907, the famous Art Nouveau era architects, the brothers, expanded the building and added a third floor, where they built a new church hall for 2000 people in the Russian Empire style, consecrated on December 7, 1908 by Metropolitan Anthony. Since that time, the number of adults in custody has exceeded 700.

Houses of care exclusively for the young poor are referred to as orphanages, and houses of care for the mentally ill are referred to as mental homes. Like almshouses, charity houses were class and all-class.
