In the second half of the 19th century, this site on Warsaw's ulica Mokotowska (Mokotów Street) belonged to Józef Kaczyński.

In 1907, the cottage was taken over by the first owner's descendant, Mieczysław Kaczyński, who with Wacław Cywiński set up there a printing house, a lithography establishment, and a bag factory.

In 1922, the Board of Lublin Province Sugar Producers (Zarząd Cukrowni Lubelskich) purchased the building, and its reconstruction was completed in 1926.

The cottage, in the rear, was given a rococo stylization, and two wings were added in front, enclosing the entrance to a courtyard.

In 1935, the palace was bought by Mieczysław Broniewski, a sugar industrialist, who adapted the building as a family residence to a design by Antoni Jawornicki.
