Дом Козиной, Historical gymnasium building in central Minsk, Belarus

Dom Kozina is a four-storey trapezoidal brick building at 5 Kirova Street in Minsk, built in the 1890s as a revenue house and remodelled in 1913 for the Alekseevskaya private women's gymnasium. Its main facade has a central risot and cut corner angles with triangular attics, and an arcaded frieze runs between the third and fourth floors. The unplastered red brickwork is contrasted with white-plastered capitals, cornices and window surrounds.

Hieronymus Knopp built it in the 1890s as a revenue house at the corner of Petersburg Lane and Mikhailovskaya Street, owned by Elena Semyonovna Kozina. In 1905 machine guns were mounted on the building and fired at demonstrators fleeing Railway Square (the Kurilov shooting). By 1913 it was the Eysmont house; that year Elizaveta Dmitrievna Reiman's Alekseevskaya private women's gymnasium moved in, a fourth floor was added and the layout changed. From 1923 a railway school No. 25 occupied it, later named after Alexander Chervyakov.

The building is named after Elena Semyonovna Kozina, who owned this revenue house. From 1913 it housed the Alekseevskaya private women's gymnasium of Elizaveta Dmitrievna Reiman, which moved here and added a fourth floor. Today it houses the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union.

The building is at 5 Kirova Street, at the corner of Kirova Street and what was once Petersburg Lane, a short walk from Independence Square and the Railway Station. It now houses the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union, so the interior is not open to tourists; the brick facades, the central risalit and the triangular pediment over the Kirova Street entrance can be seen from the street.

In 1905, machine guns were mounted on this building and fired at demonstrators fleeing from the station square, an episode known as the Kurlov shooting. The building was then still the Kozina revenue house at the corner of Petersburg Lane and Mikhailovskaya Street.
