 The building was not damaged apart from some small decorative items that were thrown into the sea along with a small portion of the cliff.However, the cliff itself developed a huge crack.In the 1930s, the building was used by a reading club from the nearby "Zhemchuzhina" (Pearl) resort, however it was closed shortly thereafter as a safety precaution due to the damage it had suffered in the quake, remaining closed for the next 40 years.
