Located in the southern part of the city, outside the historical center, near Lezhnevsky Tract, the church connected Ivanovo with Suzdal, Vladimir, and Moscow. The large building of the temple, towering over the low-rise buildings, served as an architectural dominant of the area. The church was built in 1907-1908 according to the design of the Vladimir provincial architect P.G. Begen. The client was merchant S.I. Zhokhova, who donated the land for the construction of the church and almshouse in 1901. In the early 1910s, a women's community was established here, and later a women's monastery. In the 1930s, the church was closed, and its domes were dismantled. During restoration, the five-domed completion was replaced with a single dome. This is an interesting example of a large church in the Russian style with an original structural solution.

The massive building, elongated along the longitudinal axis, consists of a main cubic base, a slightly lowered two-story narthex from the west, and three low semi-circular apses from the east, where the central apse significantly protrudes forward. The building is crowned with a large drum topped with an onion dome, and two smaller domes are placed above smooth pilasters that divide the western wall of the narthex.

The centers of all facades of the base are highlighted by risalits with a three-lobed completion and a round panel in the tympanum. The corners of the building are emphasized by two-tiered pilasters, decorated with wide strips in the central risalits, while the other pilasters have strips only at the bottom. A strict cornice divides the facades into two tiers. In the first tier, there are paired rectangular windows, decorated with narrow half-frames with rounded corners, characteristic of Art Nouveau. In contrast, the frames of the second light windows are typical of the Russian style and are designed as developed frames on half-columns, topped with a pair of kokoshniks with a gable. Similar kokoshniks adorn the low attic tier above the cornice with modillons. The side facades are decorated with porches with gable roofs, supported by two round columns, corresponding to the bundled columns in the lower tier of the risalit.

The spacious bright interior of the church, like in the Church of the Presentation, is covered by a system of sail vaults, resting on two pairs of intersecting large-span concrete arches, which are supported by wall pilasters. In the western part of the narthex, open to the church space, there are choirs, accessed by a narrow staircase at the western pilaster. The apses are covered with barrel vaults with conches.
