      • The building was erected in 1847–1851 as a "four-run horse-, steam- and air-powered mill" — a service building of the Pyrotechnic School.
      • The building is protected as a cultural heritage site.
      • Kapsyulnoye Highway is named after the percussion-cap workshops of the gunpowder factory that stood on the Okhta bank.
      • The neighbouring village of Zhernovka, by one version, got its name from the gunpowder millstones.
