In 1895, a notable two-story building in the neogreek style was constructed on Bolshaya Pirogovskaya Street, housing the Orphanage named after Nikolai Mazurin. This concise yet ornate building is surrounded by an iron fence, and the original inscription has been restored on the frieze of the main facade.

In 1891, the Moscow City Administration allocated land for the construction of the orphanage. The funds for its establishment were bequeathed by a Frenchwoman, Maria Charbonneau, the common-law wife of merchant N.S. Mazurin, after whom the orphanage is named.

The orphanage housed 100 children, with 50 girls and 50 boys. Children aged five to nine who had lived in Moscow for at least two years could stay at the orphanage until they reached the age of twelve, regardless of their class or religion. After turning 12, they were distributed to vocational schools and other orphanages.

The building's design was developed by the renowned architect Illarion Ivanov-Shitz, who served as the chief architect of Moscow. The first floor contained rooms for classes and games, a dining room, a medical room, a kitchen, and apartments for educators and staff. The second floor housed the children's bedrooms.

Since 1936, the building has housed a secondary school, and from the 1950s, it has been the Embassy of Vietnam. Restoration of the building began in 2011, and since 1992, it has been protected by the state as a cultural heritage site.

The building has generally been well-preserved. The internal partitions remain in place, although new ones were added during the Soviet era. Some elements, such as acroteria and chimneys, were lost. The restorers faced the task of accurately restoring the historical appearance of the building and improving its operational characteristics.

The restoration of the facades was carried out while preserving their composition and architectural design characteristic of the 1890s. Project drawings by Ivanov-Shitz from the A.V. Shchusev Museum of Architecture were used. During the work, waterproofing of the walls was conducted, along with repairs and antifungal treatment of the brickwork.

The walls were cleaned of old paint, and the plaster of the columns, pilasters, and cornices was restored. Repairs were also made to the rusticated walls, followed by a coating with facade paint. Using archival materials, the covering of the plinth part of the facade was restored.

Acroteria on the pediments and the carpentry filling of the main entrance were recreated. New window units were installed, preserving the historical frames. The restorers returned to the original color scheme of Ivanov-Shitz, combining red-brick walls with light plastered surfaces.

The building still houses the Embassy of Vietnam. In 2013, the orphanage named after N.S. Mazurin became a laureate of the Moscow Government's "Moscow Restoration 2013" competition in the category "For the Best Organization of Repair and Restoration Work."
