In 1706, the first wooden temple was built. In 1754, at the expense of the Irkutsk merchant Bechevin I.S., a stone Tikhvin temple was laid. During the Irkutsk fire of 1879, the temple burned, but upon restoration, its original appearance was observed. The name of the temple was named Tikhvinskaya street (now - Sukhe-Bator street ) and Tikhvinskaya square (now - the square of Count Speransky ).
The architecture of the Tikhvin temple was characteristic of the Siberian Baroque of the mid-18th century [1] . In 1932 it was closed and soon demolished.
