It was established as the memorial hall of triumphal return from the First World War in May 1923(Taisho 12). After World WarⅡ, the US military used it as a dance hall and a movie theater, but it was returned to Sasebo City in 1977(Showa 52), and now, it is used as a citizens' multipurpose cultural facility for theatrical performances and concerts. It was registered as a tangible cultural property of Japan in 1997 for its valuable Taisho era construction.
