The name is given at the time of the release of the postcard. I think that the picture for the postcard was made before the museum was opened - there is grass on the ledge, some of the windows are missing on the door ?. The temple chapel in the name of St. Archangel Michael was built at the military-garrison cemetery of the city of Alexandropol (now the city of Gyumri), called "Hill of Honor", on which soldiers were killed who were killed on the battlefield and who died from wounds. The temple chapel was consecrated in 1886 / The words: "Here is the kingdom of peace and tranquility" are written over the entrance to the Russian chapel. (Tuff-carved letters are visible above the entrance. It was closed in 1920 after the establishment of Soviet power, and a museum of Russian-Armenian friendship was opened in it in 1984.
