Two Turkish government defters ("defter" from Persian - book, register) under the title "New Consolidated Register" are dated to the end of the 16th century.

In 1941, the building housed a military hospital. While retreating from the city, the fascists burned the building of the former male gymnasium along with other houses. All that remained of it - burnt brick walls - was transferred to the industrial technical school. Reconstruction work was completed in 1952.
The construction of this building was completed in 1897. Initially, there was a hotel "Continental" and a merchant meeting hall. Later, the house was significantly rebuilt and expanded. A hall for spectators, two lobbies and technical premises were completed.
