It is located at 13 Staromłyńska Street, at the corner with Łaziebna Street, and next to the White Eagle Square, within the Old Town neighbourhood of the Downtown district. It was constructed in 1779, originally housing a wine store and a winery, and later a piano store and production facility, and a bank. It was destroyed in 1943 during the Second World War, and rebuilt between 1959 and 1962. Currently, it houses the Feliks Nowowiejski Music School.
