      • The almshouse's first brick building was built in 1860 to a design by V. I. Eppinger.
      • The decorated front building was designed by Fyodor Habersettel and Antony Tomishko.
      • Until 1904 the Volkovka was called the Chernaya Rechka (Black River).
      • In Soviet times the building housed a children's hospital.
      • In 2004 the building was removed from the list of monuments, and in 2017, after court cases, its protected status was restored.
