History
Due to financial problems in 1903 Professor Alchevsky sold his mansion to the Mutual Aid Society of Working Women, which opened a kindergarten in it.
In 1911-12 they added an additional spacious three-story building designed by the architect Piskunov, and opened a gymnasium in the building.
In 1924 it was transformed into secondary school No. 1.
Currently, this building also houses the Ukrainian-British College.
