In 1941, the building housed a military hospital. While retreating from the city, the fascists burned the building of the former male gymnasium along with other houses. All that remained of it - burnt brick walls - was transferred to the industrial technical school. Reconstruction work was completed in 1952.
Drama Theater in Mariupol. The house is built of Crimean inkerman gray stone in the style of monumental classicism with a huge number of stucco decorated components. On the facade of the building there is a sculptural composition, where the main role is given to metallurgists and farmers as the main professions of the Azov region, to whom the patrons of art perform a laudatory ode. As a result of the bombing the theater was destroyed on 17th March 2022.
Workers, collective farm workers, youth of the city and district took part in the creation of the museum. In their free time, they rearranged rooms, decorated the interior and exterior of the building, and made stands and showcases. Pensioners, veterans of civil war and World War II actively collected materials, household items, various documents, which later became museum exhibits. The museum's collection includes more than 6,000 items, including archaeological, natural and written and printed items, numismatics, photos, ethnography, and memorial items. All these things characterize the material and spiritual heritage of Ukrainian and other peoples living in the region, their way of life.
