It was built in eclectic style in 1910 by Polish architect Józef Płoszko, initially as the "Phenomenon" movie theatre.

When the movie theater was opened to the public in June 1910, its administration advertised the features of full ventilation, occurring every 15 minutes and a special ozonator.

Entrepreneurs were arranging permission from city authorities to enlarge the building in the future.

As a result, the architectural appearance of the building was completed by the monuments of 4 ancient mythological figures – Mercury, Bacchus, Poseidon and Aphrodite.
