In addition to the buildings of the palace and park ensemble, structures were erected on Yelagin Island whose purpose was not directly related to serving the imperial family. These include the Cavalier and Ladies-in-Waiting Corps. In 1834, the architect Charlemagne was ordered to draft a plan for the construction of a "House for the caretaker of the Yelagin Island Palace and the court quartermaster." The building was constructed of wood with a stone first floor. Its architectural design resonates with Rossi's buildings. The construction of the two-story building based on Charlemagne's project was completed in 1836.
The Cavalier Corps was reopened after restoration in 2014.
