In the 1920s, the Officers' House carried out large-scale educational work among Red Army soldiers; during the Great Patriotic War it served as a base for a number of special military preparatory courses, front-line concert and propaganda brigades. It is located in the former Public Building of Army and Navy Officers' Assembly (1895-98, military engineers V.K. Gauger, A.D. Donchenko).
