By this time, the collection of Tatar paintings, graphics, sculpture, decorative and applied arts numbered more than eleven thousand works. The building itself, in the third entrance of which part of the collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan was housed, is an architectural monument in the classicist style and is protected by the state.

Later, from the second half of the 19th century, the Kazan Infantry Junker School was located here. This is clearly visible in the engravings and paintings of artists of that time (E.M. Korneev, A.N. Rakovich, V.S. Turin, E. Tournerelli, A.V. Ilyin, A.P. Bogolyubov) with views of the Kazan Kremlin a massive, horizontally elongated building.
