Next to the Rogozhskaya Zastava square lies a quiet pedestrian street known today as School Street. Before the revolution, it was called Telezhnaya and 1st Rogozhskaya Street. This is the only street of the Rogozhskaya Yamskaya sloboda that survived the fire and revolution, where Old Believer coachmen lived during the era of the Russian Empire.

The Yamskaya sloboda was one of the most successful in Moscow. In the mid-19th century, Old Believers felt free, settled entire neighborhoods, and achieved financial success. Transporting people and goods was a suitable profession for them due to their honesty. The road to Vladimir passed through what is now School Street. Here, buildings of former shops with large display windows and awnings have been preserved, under which travelers could shelter from the rain and choose their purchases. There were also inns, remembered by rare gates with special peepholes through which a worker could assess a potential guest by their horse. On the corner stands the building of an Old Believer school, where the children of local Old Believers studied, many of whom became successful businessmen. Opposite is the building of a former tea house, where Stanislavsky performed.

Today, the street has retained its historical appearance. The idea of brightly painting the houses belongs to Emperor Alexander I, who visited Moscow and went to 1st Rogozhskaya Street. Later, his grandson Alexander II ordered the installation of street lamps. In those years, the street became pedestrian, as the need for the yamskaya road disappeared with the emergence of the railway station and railway.
