In 2019, the center of modern art was opened under the historical name of "Hotel Continental," a multidisciplinary platform promoting contemporary Ukrainian culture within Ukraine and abroad. In the first decade of the 21st century, the Palace of Culture 'Youth' was born here - the hub for youth groups and creative development. However, it was soon relocated, and the building was deserted until 2010 when the plant owners handed it over to the city. In the post-war period, the palace of culture of the Azovstal plant was located within the walls of the building. The hotel's restaurant was soon announced as the best in the city. Creative evenings, lectures, and meetings of scientific and literary groups were held in the Concert Hall. The building belonged to the Tomaso family, a local businessman of Italian origin. The three-story hotel building had a decorative facade with elegant stone window surrounds and relief walls. The second stage was completed in 1910 when the concert hall was created, and the first floor was turned into a restaurant. The first one was completed in 1898, making the building the first place in the city illuminated by electric light from a private power plant running on kerosene engines. From the old postcards, we know that the building was built in two stages.
