In the late 1980s, while developing tourist routes, attention was drawn to a small chapel post by the former road of convicts of Tsarist Russia, known as 'Vladimirka', in the area of the village of Peksha. Here, the new concrete highway Moscow-Ufa practically coincides with the old track of Vladimirka. This ancient roadside post, distinguished by a more elegant and elongated shape, was in poor condition: the bricks had darkened and were crumbling in places.

At the Culture Department of Vladoblispolkom, which was located in the same building as the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve, the idea arose to create a parking lot for tourist buses here. According to sanitary regulations, tourists needed to get out to stretch their legs and address other matters. It was decided to combine the pleasant with the useful: to restore the brick post and include it in the excursion programs for the house-museum of the artist Levitan in the village of Peksha. The old post was quickly demolished, and in its place, a new chapel made of partition bricks was built, along with a parking lot. Everything was going according to plan, but unfortunately, the wooden house-museum of Levitan burned down as a result of a vandalistic arson, destroying all the exhibits of peasant life, including ancient spinning wheels, ladles, and icons. At this time, the USSR also collapsed. Tourist plans and routes were forgotten, and the place became abandoned and unwanted until the future owners of the gas station received permission to use the land. During the construction of the gas station, the fuel tanks ended up exactly where the former chapel had been. To avoid interference, it was dismantled and moved 50 steps to the side, into the bushes, where it still stands, unwanted, with trampled grass among the trees.
