The first mention of the building itself, which used to house primary school No. 1, Pyatakov school: "The monument of civil architecture of the early XX century is a typical example of construction equipment in the northern region of Kazakhstan. The building of the first (later music) school was built for several years: between 1909 and 1915. The building was designed according to the style and construction plan for one of the primary schools of the city of Kostanay (one of eight single-class Russian schools). In August-September 1915, the building was occupied by refugees (population of German nationality), expelled from the frontline provinces, and later by troops. One of the buildings housed the infirmary of the Union of Cities. The old local name is Pyatakov's school, about which it is known that he was a gendarme. Why the school bore his name is unknown."
Since 1948, it has been school No. 1. The head of the school was Grigory Ivanovich Krivoshchekov. In the summer of 1971, a new building was built for the first school on Chekhov Street.
Currently, the building houses a children's music school.
