Under Demidovsky D., the workers' charity consists of full and honorary members.

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.

An excerpt characterizing the House of Charity

From the day his wife arrived in Moscow, Pierre was preparing to go somewhere, just so as not to be with her. Soon after the Rostovs arrived in Moscow, the impression that Natasha made on him made him hasten to fulfill his intention. He went to Tver to see the widow of Joseph Alekseevich, who promised long ago to give him the papers of the deceased.
When Pierre returned to Moscow, he was given a letter from Marya Dmitrievna, who invited him to her very important matter concerning Andrei Bolkonsky and his fiancee. Pierre avoided Natasha. It seemed to him that he had a feeling for her stronger than that which a married man should have for the bride of his friend. And some kind of fate constantly brought him together with her.
"What happened? And what do they care about me? he thought as he got dressed to go to Marya Dmitrievna. Prince Andrei would come quickly and marry her!” thought Pierre on the way to Akhrosimova.
On Tverskoy Boulevard someone called out to him.
- Pierre! How long have you arrived? – a familiar voice shouted to him. Pierre raised his head. In a pair of sleighs, on two gray trotters throwing snow at the tops of the sleigh, Anatole flashed by with his constant companion Makarin. Anatole sat upright, in the classic pose of military dandies, covering the bottom of his face with a beaver collar and bending his head slightly. His face was ruddy and fresh, his hat with a white plume was put on one side, revealing his hair, curled, pomaded and sprinkled with fine snow.
“And rightly so, here is a real sage! thought Pierre, he sees nothing beyond the present moment of pleasure, nothing disturbs him, and that is why he is always cheerful, content and calm. What would I give to be like him!” Pierre thought with envy.
In Akhrosimova’s hallway, the footman, taking off Pierre’s fur coat, said that Marya Dmitrievna was being asked to come to her bedroom.
Opening the door to the hall, Pierre saw Natasha sitting by the window with a thin, pale and angry face. She looked back at him, frowned and with an expression of cold dignity left the room.
- What's happened? - asked Pierre, entering Marya Dmitrievna.
“Good deeds,” answered Marya Dmitrievna: “I’ve lived fifty-eight years in the world, I’ve never seen such shame.” - And taking Pierre’s word of honor to remain silent about everything that he learns, Marya Dmitrievna informed him that Natasha refused her fiancé without the knowledge of her parents, that the reason for this refusal was Anatole Kuragin, with whom her wife set Pierre up, and with whom she wanted to run away in the absence of his father, in order to get married secretly.
Pierre, with his shoulders raised and his mouth open, listened to what Marya Dmitrievna was telling him, not believing his ears. The bride of Prince Andrei, so deeply loved, this formerly sweet Natasha Rostova, should exchange Bolkonsky for the fool Anatole, already married (Pierre knew the secret of his marriage), and fall in love with him so much as to agree to run away with him! “Pierre couldn’t understand this and couldn’t imagine it.”
The sweet impression of Natasha, whom he had known since childhood, could not combine in his soul with the new idea of ​​​​her baseness, stupidity and cruelty. He remembered his wife. “They are all the same,” he said to himself, thinking that he was not the only one who had the sad fate of being associated with a nasty woman. But he still felt sorry for Prince Andrey to the point of tears, he felt sorry for his pride. And the more he pitied his friend, the more contempt and even disgust he thought about this Natasha, who was now walking past him in the hall with such an expression of cold dignity. He did not know that Natasha’s soul was filled with despair, shame, humiliation, and that it was not her fault that her face accidentally expressed calm dignity and severity.

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.
