The old brick building with distinctive Turkestan architecture, located opposite the Central Park (formerly Telman Park), is well known to Tashkent residents. 

Many remember it as the location of the Faculty of Industrial and Civil Construction of the Polytechnic Institute. 

The building was constructed in 1909 by G. M. Svarichevsky’s design for the Technical Railway School named after Heir Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. 

After the revolution, it housed a party workers’ school and several faculties of Turkestan University—until the third floor was added to the current Westminster University building. 

During the war, an evacuation center and hospital were set up in the building. 

After the war, it hosted a department for training construction personnel, and later—the construction faculty of the Polytechnic Institute. 

Currently, the building houses the Banking and Finance Academy.
