During the Great Patriotic War, this building housed evacuation hospital number 421, which arrived from the city of Smolensk. Hospital number 421 with 1,000 beds. Serov residents tried to support the wounded in hospitals in every possible way. Concerts and performances were organized for them, schoolchildren looked after the soldiers, fed them, read and wrote letters. Since August 1941, spontaneous collection points for money and warm clothes for the front appeared in the city. People often brought their last clothes and shoes, because there were practically no families in wartime Serov where no one had gone to the front.
