History
The place between the city center and the Kostroma river used to be called a “spill” (an open place near the city border), there were Brick and Kamenshchikov settlements. Now these territories of the former settlements are the western edge of the historical part of the city.
The first mention of the church dates back to 1628. Then there stood two wooden churches - the tent - roofed Blasius, the Bishop of Sevastia and the Cretan Nicholas the Wonderworker with a refectory . They were wooden throughout the 18th century, and only in 1805 were replaced by the current stone building, built at the expense of parishioners. By this time, Brick Village had already joined the Kostroma, and Vlasyevskaya Street reached the church.
The church belonged to the type of two-story five-domed and pillarless churches with a tiered bell tower, in the voluminous composition of which, symmetrically clear and clear, new forms of classicism intertwined with the old Baroque tradition. Inside the temple on the lower floor was the throne of St. Nicholas, and in the upper - Blasia; both of them form a single space due to the opening of the altar and refectory in the temple.
After the revolution in 1924, the church was closed, and on November 7 of the same year, the club officially opened in the former church. The completion of the church and the ringing (two upper tiers) of the bell tower with a spire were broken, and the rest was later built up with a three-story building [1] . In 1973, the building housed the workshops of the Orbita garment factory, and then the vocational school No. 18. At present, the building is the state institution of the Kostroma Region Information and Analytical Center.
