Originally, the building of the Kazan Church on the banks of the Uvod River was constructed as a calico printing factory by peasant Osip Stepanovich Sokov. He learned the textile trade at Christian Liman's factory in Shlisselburg and, upon returning to his native village of Ivanovo, now the city of Ivanovo, decided to open his own production. Although the factory thrived, after the death of Osip Stepanovich, and then his brother Andrei Stepanovich, who inherited the business, the enterprise was sold in 1801 to Mikhail Ivanovich Yamanovsky. Yamanovsky, being the head of the Old Believer community, decided to convert the building into a prayer house. In 1810, according to the project by architect Marichelli, the building was reconstructed, an altar was added, and a charitable institution was arranged on the third floor.

Since the Vladimir Spiritual Consistory refused to consecrate the prayer house as a church, services were held secretly until the 1860s. In the 1830s-1840s, when many members of the Old Believer community, including Yamanovsky, converted to the True Faith, the question of closing the prayer house was even discussed.

In 1901 and 1903, repairs were made to the building, after which the prayer house was consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity. Two years later, on April 17, 1905, a decree was issued that officially recognized the Old Believers. Over the next two years, the building was reconstructed into a church according to the project by architect Begen, with the attic raised and domes erected. Upon completion of the work, the church was consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

In 1910, with funds from merchant N. I. Kurazhev, a fence was built around the church according to the project by architect Snurilov.

On February 4, 1930, the church was closed, the building was partially repurposed for residential use and partially for a police club. Subsequently, it was used for a long time as a residential house. The fence, bell tower, and domes were demolished, and the metal grilles of the fence were used to enclose School No. 55 on Rabfakovskaya Street.

In 1991, the building was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church, and the church reopened here.
