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 charging “1% from merchant capitals”.

The building was founded on June 21, 1831 by Bishop Nikanor of Reval. The project was drawn up by the architect A. F. Shchedrin (son of the famous sculptor F. F. Shchedrin). The construction lasted two years, and on July 9, 1833, Metropolitan Seraphim consecrated the building together 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 the capital declared by the merchants; personal donations were also accepted. The institution was under the personal patronage of the emperor.

The House of Charity accepted the elderly and crippled persons of both sexes, assigned to the St. Petersburg merchant and petty-bourgeois class. 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). An application for admission to a charity home was accompanied by a certificate of residence in the capital, a certificate of the state and behavior of the applicant. At the expense of benefactors, boarders were accepted here over the state for a fee of 200 rubles. per year and 50 rubles. at the same time "to equip".

All the prisoners were supplied with uniforms, underwear and shoes. In the wards, planned as an enfilade, there were 16-20 beds with bedside tables, tables with chairs by the windows. The table was common, separate for the men's and women's departments, hearty, with cabbage soup, pies and kvass. If those cherished by society were able, they were obliged to sew and knit dresses and linen, sew shoes, and help in cooking. In the workshops of the charity home, flax, hemp and wool were spun, brushes, toys, paint brushes, rugs, etc. were made.

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

The charity house gradually begins to expand its scope of activities. A hospital with 30 beds is 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.

They open two schools for orphans - respectively, the Nikolaev trading school for boys and the Alexandrinsky (in honor of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna) commercial school for girls.

In 1855, the almshouse was named Nicholas and began to accommodate 500 people. Subsequently, an orphanage was opened with her. In 1868 arch. 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, two large marble icon cases with inextinguishable lamps were placed in memory of Alexander II.

Another reconstruction of the building takes place in 1879. Architects N. A. Melnikov and A. G. Gronvald expand it and add a bath building, and in 1882-1883 for early liturgies, as well as for the funeral of the dead, N. A. Melnikov built a small Intercession Church, which was located at 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 occasion of the 75th anniversary of the House of Charity, its capital reached 2 million rubles. In 1907, the well-known architects of the Art Nouveau era, the brothers, expanded the building and built it on the third floor, where they arranged a new church hall for 2000 people in the Russian Empire style, consecrated on December 7, 1908 by Metropolitan Anthony. The number of imprisoned adults since that time has exceeded 700.

An excerpt characterizing the House of Charity

“Leave ... those ... that I ... I ... die ...” she said, with an evil effort she tore herself away from Marya Dmitrievna and lay down in her former position.
"Natalia!..." said Marya Dmitrievna. - I wish you well. You lie down, well, lie down like that, I won't touch you, and listen... I won't say how guilty you are. You yourself know. Well, now your father will arrive tomorrow, what will I tell him? A?
Again Natasha's body shook with sobs.
- Well, he will know, well, your brother, the groom!
“I don’t have a fiancé, I refused,” Natasha shouted.
“It doesn’t matter,” continued Marya Dmitrievna. - Well, they will find out, what will they leave like that? After all, he, your father, I know him, after all, if he challenges him to a duel, will it be good? A?
“Ah, leave me, why did you interfere with everything!” For what? For what? who asked you? shouted Natasha, sitting up on the sofa and looking angrily at Marya Dmitrievna.
- What did you want? cried Marya Dmitrievna again, excitedly, “why were you locked up or what?” Well, who prevented him from going to the house? Why take you away like a gypsy?... Well, if he had taken you away, what do you think, they wouldn't have found him? Your father, or brother, or fiancé. And he's a scoundrel, a scoundrel, that's what!
“He is better than all of you,” Natasha cried, rising. “If you hadn’t interfered… Oh, my God, what is it, what is it!” Sonya why? Go away! ... - And she sobbed with such despair with which people mourn only such grief, of which they feel themselves the cause. Marya Dmitrievna began to speak again; but Natasha screamed: “Go away, go away, you all hate me, despise me. - And again threw herself on the sofa.
Marya Dmitrievna went on admonishing Natasha for some more time and suggesting to her that all this must be hidden from the count, that no one would know anything if only Natasha took it upon herself to forget everything and not show to anyone that something had happened. Natasha didn't answer. She did not sob anymore, but chills and trembling became with her. Marya Dmitrievna put a pillow for her, covered her with two blankets, and herself brought her a lime blossom, but Natasha did not answer her. “Well, let her sleep,” said Marya Dmitrievna, leaving the room, thinking that she was sleeping. But Natasha did not sleep, and with fixed open eyes from her pale face looked straight ahead of her. All that night Natasha did not sleep, and did not cry, and did not speak to Sonya, who got up several times and approached her.
The next day, for breakfast, as Count Ilya Andreich had promised, he arrived from Moscow Region. He was very cheerful: business with the bidder was going well, and nothing now delayed him now in Moscow and in separation from the countess, whom he missed. Marya Dmitrievna met him and announced to him that Natasha had become very unwell yesterday, that they had sent for a doctor, but that she was better now. Natasha did not leave her room that morning. With pursed, chapped lips and dry, fixed eyes, she sat at the window and peered uneasily at those passing along the street and hurriedly looked back at those who entered the room. She was obviously waiting for news of him, waiting for him to come himself or write to her.
When the count went up to her, she turned uneasily at the sound of his manly steps, and her face assumed its former cold and even angry expression. She didn't even get up to meet him.
- What is the matter with you, my angel, are you sick? asked the Count. Natasha was silent.
“Yes, she is sick,” she answered.
To the count's restless questions about why she was so dead and whether something had happened to her fiancé, she assured him that it was nothing and asked him not to worry. Marya Dmitrievna confirmed Natasha's assurances to the count that nothing had happened. The count, judging by the imaginary illness, by the disorder of his daughter, by the embarrassed faces of Sonya and Marya Dmitrievna, clearly saw that something must have happened in his absence: but he was so afraid to think that something shameful had happened to his beloved daughter, he he loved his cheerful calmness so much that he avoided questioning and kept trying to assure himself that there was nothing special and only grieved over the fact that, on the occasion of her illness, their departure to the country was being postponed.

From the day his wife arrived in Moscow, Pierre was going to go somewhere, just so as not to be with her. Shortly after the arrival of the Rostovs in Moscow, the impression that Natasha made on him made him hurry to fulfill his intention. He went to Tver to the widow of Iosif Alekseevich, who had long promised to give him the papers of the deceased.
When Pierre returned to Moscow, he received a letter from Marya Dmitrievna, who called him to her on a very important matter concerning Andrei Bolkonsky and his bride. Pierre avoided Natasha. It seemed to him that he had a stronger feeling for her than that which a married man should have for his friend's fiancee. And some kind of fate constantly brought him together with her.
"What happened? And what do they care about me? he thought as he dressed to go to Marya Dmitrievna's. Prince Andrei would have come as soon as possible and would have married her!” Pierre thought on his way to Akhrosimova.
On Tverskoy Boulevard someone called out to him.
- Pierre! Have you arrived long time ago? a familiar voice called out to him. Pierre raised his head. In a double sleigh, on two gray trotters throwing snow at the heads of the sleigh, Anatole flashed by with his constant comrade Makarin. Anatole sat straight, in the classic pose of military dandies, wrapping 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 sideways, revealing his curled, oiled and finely snowed hair.
“And right, here is a real sage! thought Pierre, he sees nothing further than a real moment of pleasure, nothing disturbs him, and therefore he is always cheerful, contented and calm. What would I give to be like him!” Pierre thought enviously.
In the hall, Akhrosimova, the footman, taking off his fur coat from Pierre, said that Marya Dmitrievna was asked to go 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 went out of the room.
- What's happened? asked Pierre, going in to Marya Dmitrievna.
“Good deeds,” answered Marya Dmitrievna, “I have lived in the world for fifty-eight years, I have 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 had refused her fiancé without the knowledge of her parents, that the reason for this refusal was Anatole Kuragin, with whom her wife Pierre had taken, and with whom she wanted to run away in the absence of his father, in order to secretly marry.
Pierre, raising his shoulders and opening his mouth, listened to what Marya Dmitrievna was telling him, not believing his ears. To the bride of Prince Andrei, so much loved, this formerly sweet Natasha Rostova, to 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! - This Pierre could not understand and could not imagine.
The sweet impression of Natasha, whom he had known since childhood, could not unite in his soul with a 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 Andrei to tears, it was a pity for his pride. And the more he felt sorry for his friend, the more contempt and even disgust he thought about this Natasha, with such an expression of cold dignity, who now passed him along the hall. He did not know that Natasha's soul was filled with despair, shame, humiliation, and that it was not her fault that her face inadvertently expressed calm dignity and severity.
