This Russian Church was built in Tsarist Russia Municipal District, Fújiàntái, Dalny.
After the Japanese drove the Russians out of Dalny on May 29, 1904, the Japanese used this building as an officers' hospital and made the city their general base during the Port Arthur campaign.
In 1906, the former temple was occupied by the Dairen First Ordinary and Higher Primary School following the old Meiji system of Japanese education. On March 30, 1908, the school was moved out of the church to the site of the Grand Plaza Small School (present-day 16th Middle School in Dalian).
The church-school building was also offered up to the Japanese Presbyterian Church for use, but it was claimed by the Russians on behalf of their former civilian population, and this claim has not been adjudicated when Rev. J.G. Dunlop was there per his report, Port Arthur and Dalny a year after the War, "The Missionary Review of the World", Vol. 20, No. 2, Feb 1907, pp 96-98
