The facades of the building are gracefully decorated with semi-columns and pilasters. The balconies of the building are decorated with intricately patterned lattices. In the decoration of the building's interiors, the luxurious stucco moldings that adorn the ceilings of the premises have been partially preserved. A staircase with an openwork metal railing decorated with rosettes leads to the second floor.
In January 1993, the Kazan Choreographic School was opened in the building. It was formed on the basis of the choreographic department of the music school. The idea of creating a specialized school appeared in the sixties of the twentieth century. The Tatar Opera and Ballet Theater named after M. Jalil has brought up a whole galaxy of brilliant dancers and ballerinas. The ballet school has become a necessary part of the process of transferring heritage and skills to young performers.
