The profit - yelding building is a valuable architectural monument, designed by the Viennese architect Peter Paul Brang. It was built in the period 1898-1902, the central part of Ruse. The name derives from the idea of building wearing the then school board income from rents provided shops, a theater, a library and a casino.
