This slide is a colorized version of a black and white photograph, potentially used as a postcard, that shows a group of people posing on the front staircase of the municipal office building in Gnadenfeld, Molotschna Colony. The building shown in the photograph was constructed in 1872 and served as the administrative centre after the Molotschna Colony was separated into two separate municipal districts (volost) in 1870. The building was used temporarily as an agricultural school in 1923 and the photograph used as figure 5.73 in "Building on the Past" suggests this building remained standing and served administrative functions as late as 1978. As of the writing of the book this building no longer stood.

This photograph is of the exterior of the Secondary School (Zentralschule) in Gnadenfeld. Molotschna Colony. This secondary school was built initially in 1859. After closing a few years later in 1863 as a part of a dispute within the church, the Gnadenfeld "volost" purchased the building in 1870 and renovated temporarily into an administrative building. It was restored to its initial function as a school in 1873 and performed this role without significant changes until 1914 when the school became a business school (handelsschule) to avoid the jurisdiction of the Russian Ministry of Education. In that same year the school had 150 students with five teachers. After the Russian Civil War the building was integrated with other village schools in the area into a trade school (arbeitsschule). Recently as of the writing of the book this building was used by a local collective farm and its condition was considered to be poor.
