Dating of the monument-Con. XIX century.
Location: 191 Baimagambetov street, Kostanay.
Historical monument associated with the establishment of Soviet power in the region.
For a long time, the Kostanay city Duma did not give permission for the construction of a cinema building near the city square, motivating the refusal by saying that the noise and exhaust of the kerosene engine would be harmful to both green spaces and the health of citizens.
In 1909, engineer A. Kastalsky for the first time in the city began demonstrating silent films in an adapted room. In 1912 – 1913, the construction of the cinema "Furor" began, and in 1914 A. Kastalsky was bought in Switzerland and installed an electric motor.
After the civil war, it housed the people's drama theater, and since 1922 it has been transformed into the state drama theater.
The theater building was almost completely reconstructed, which led to a change in the facade of the building, as well as the internal layout.
