According to the Złoty Stok (Reichenstein) chronicle, the house was built around 1904 and was owned by the German Güttler family, who owned the famous arsenic mine in Reichenstein and a gunpowder factory in the nearby town of Mąkolno (Maifritzdorf). At that time, the house was inhabited by the managers of the gunpowder factory. The ground floor of the house housed the factory offices, while the first floor was designed as an apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. In 1923, the Güttler family sold the gunpowder factory and the house to the German industrial concern Lignose AG from Berlin. When the house belonged to Lignose, it was extended with additional kitchen and sanitary facilities. After the war, the house still belonged to the gunpowder factory, and apartments were allocated to people employed in the still-operating gunpowder and fuse production plant in Mąkolno.
