Museum Square, the oldest in Saratov. Here, after the third and final founding of the city, the first church was built and the first market was established. The improvement of this bustling trading place around the Trinity Cathedral began in the 1810s under Governor A. D. Panchulidzev. The provincial architect V. I. Suranov was tasked with replacing the dilapidated wooden stalls with a trading house building. Construction took place in 1817-1818. The one-story building, elongated along Moscow Street, was executed in the classical style characteristic of that time and provided the city with new trading spaces. In the early 20th century, the Upper Market appeared on the modern Theater Square with a new trading house opened in 1854. The old building on Museum Square was decided to be demolished, and in its place, the management building of the Ryazan-Ural Railway (RUZhD) was constructed, which still stands today.

The history of the Ryazan-Ural Railway began in the second half of the 19th century when the construction of the section from Atkarsk to Saratov was completed in July 1871. In January 1892, one of the largest railway enterprises of pre-revolutionary Russia, the Ryazan-Ural Railway Society (RUZhD), was established. The management was located in Saratov, but there was no suitable building, and the department placed its offices in different locations. Architect A. M. Salko developed a project for its own management building. A site near the Trinity Cathedral was chosen for construction, freed up after the demolition of the old trading house.

The first phase of the building was constructed in 1907-1909, and the second, in 1912-1914. In February 1914, all services of the RUZhD Management moved into the new building.

The architectural solution of the main facade and the facade on Moscow Street is identical. The lower horizontal belt separates the semi-basement and first floors from the upper ones. The semi-basement floor is smooth, with a high plinth. The windows are rectangular, located at ground level. The first floor is rusticated, with arched windows framed by architraves. The architraves consist of archivolts with keystones resting on pilasters. The entrances are located along the axis of symmetry of the facades, with wide doors under a metal canopy. The second and third floors are united by Corinthian order pilasters. The windows of the second floor are rectangular, with rich architraves and pediments. At the corners of the building, the second floor is accentuated by balconies with wrought iron railings. The windows of the third floor are arched, with archivolts and keystones.

A wide horizontal belt separates the fourth floor from the lower ones. It has a frieze and cornice with "drying racks." The last floor has rectangular windows, pilasters, and a frieze. The building is crowned with a parapet with balusters. The central risalit on Moscow Street is highlighted by Corinthian columns. The facade on Chelyuskintsev Street is divided into two parts: the left, smooth, and the right, after the arch, is designed like the other facades. The layout of the building is corridor-like, with staircases at the main entrances. The stair landings lead to the inner courtyard.

The facades of the building are not plastered, showcasing the skillful brickwork. The modern color scheme of the facades maintains the contrast between the red walls and white decor. The interiors have changed due to renovations and repairs, but the exterior appearance of the building has been preserved. It still houses the management of the Privolzhsk Railway. No restorations have been carried out, but the building organically fits into the ensemble of Museum Square, corresponding to the style and proportions of neighboring buildings, including the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
