At first glance, the building on Malaya Andronyevskaya Street, with its smooth plaster, does not impress as a historical object. However, its unusual cube-like shape and the tower next to it attract attention. If you walk around it and look from the courtyard, it becomes clear that this is a temple, altered by numerous reconstructions, and the tower is a converted bell tower.

The Nikolsk-Rogozhskaya Old Believer community, led by K.G. Rubanov, formed after the introduction of religious tolerance in 1905 and submitted a request to build a church near the Rogozhskoye cemetery. Permission was granted, and in 1910 construction began based on the design by architect I.E. Bondarenko, who was simultaneously working on another Old Believer church in Malyy Gavrikov Lane. The church was consecrated in 1912, and services began.

The temple, with five domes and choirs, was built using new materials and technologies for the early 20th century: its vaults and domes were made of reinforced concrete, with the domes resting not on the vaults but on an iron truss roof structure. The architecture of the church combined elements of Novgorod-Pskov and Moscow styles: the five-domed structure resembled the Assumption Cathedral in the Kremlin, while the facades were decorated in the neo-Russian style.

Bondarenko applied his unique technique of "temple on temple," depicting one church on the facade of another. On the southern side, you can still see how this was realized: in the brickwork of the church wall, the silhouette of a three-domed church is laid out. This motif is repeated in the design of the porch on the western side, adorned with three small decorative tents with bulbous domes and crosses. The tented bell tower with an octagonal ringing tier, without windows, was located on the northwest side and connected to the church by a two-level passage.

In the 1920s, services were still held in the church, and in 1924, the All-Russian Council of the Old Believer Church took place here. However, in the early 1930s, the temple was closed. The parishioners managed to transfer the iconostasis to the chapel of the Nikolsky Uniate Church at Rogozhskoye Cemetery. The building on Malaya Andronyevskaya became a club, passing from one enterprise to another. In the process of adapting to new functions, the church interiors were lost, the decor of the western facade was plastered over, the tent of the bell tower was dismantled, and the domes of the church were broken. Today, the building remains in a modified state.
