old club & new architecture

Old club & new architecture. Wedding of new and old architecture.

 

 

The building of the historic Craft Center.

The contributions of Łódź artisans made it possible to start building their social club in 1913.

In less than a year at ul. Kilińskiego 123, a building was designed by architect August Furuhjelm, whose family came from Finland. He was also a member of the Craft Resource Center.

Five years later, in 1919, the "Resursa" cinema was opened in the same building, with 400 seats. In 1933 it changed its name to "Stylish" and survived until 1990.

In later years, the building at 123 Kilińskiego Street also served as entertainment. The "Studio" disco operated there, then "Krypton", and the last activity in the resource club was run by the "Cube" music club.

The club closed in 2008.

Currently, as part of the construction of the ILUMINO housing estate, the historic craftsmanship has been restored. It is planned to create a gallery in it.
