In 1891, the first Chinese theatre was built at the corner of Leech Street and Panglima Street on land acquired by Yau Tet Shin from Dato' Panglima Kinta. In 1906, it was replaced by a new theatre which could accommodate 1500 people.
In the 1920s, this three-storey building was built next to the theatre as a hostel for Chinese opera troupes. Today, the Kong Heong Coffeeshop downstairs is a popular dim-sum cafe.
