The building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade faces the architecturally unformed urban interior of Marynarki Polskiej Street, while its rear elevation faces Ks. Mariana G\u00f3reckiego Street, the interior of which is formed by the wall around the Maritime Culture Centre and the cemetery fence on the other side of the street. There are public art objects in front of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade. The former Maritime Culture Centre was officially opened on 07 November 1954, on the 37<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the end of the October Revolution. The building was owned by the port of Gda\u0144sk and the Culture Centre acted as a meeting place for port workers and their families \u2013 it housed a theatre, a cinema, a caf\u00e9 and a reading room. It was the cultural centre of Nowy Port: a venue where foreign language courses, meetings, music and dance events were organized, and where it was also possible to pursue artistic interests in photography, modelling, shipbuilding and dancing for children. In the 1990s, the owner (Port of Gda\u0144sk Authority S.A.) sold the building, which thus ceased to perform its original functions. Currently, it houses, among others, the University of Security and the Portowiec gym. The residents of Nowy Port want to reinstate the original function of the building and have been striving to do so since 1992 as the Maritime Culture Centre Association.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the author:<\/strong> \u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Condition of the object:<\/strong> poor<\/p>\n<p><strong>Owner\/guardian:<\/strong> University of Security (WSB)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inventory card (prepared by: Prof. Dr. Hab.
