The front two-storied stone building was built at the end of the XVIII century. In 1830s the third floor was added on. The south-western building was built in 1860s according to the project of architect G. Karpov, side buildings were built in 1890s according to the project of architect A. Soskov.

In the second half of the XIX century the building belonged to the representatives of the famous noble family - Struysky. One of the heirs was the poet Dmitry Struisky, who wrote under the pseudonym “Trilunny”.

Since 1891, according to the will of the last owner of the Struisky family - Alexandra Yurievna - the plot with all the buildings was owned by the St. Andrew's Charitable Society on Vasilievsky Island. In 1914, with the outbreak of the First World War, the society housed an infirmary in one of the buildings. In the 1920s the building housed a dormitory.
