 Hyde Park Picture House was designed by architects Thomas Winn & Sons in 1906.It was originally built for Leeds hotel businessman Henry Child, who owned The Mitre hotel in Leeds City Centre, however Leeds Corporation repeatedly rejected his application to transfer his license to his proposed new hotel, The Paragon, and the building was therefore modified to become Brudenell Road Social & Recreation Club, being converted to a cinema in 1913.It stands around halfway down Brudenell Road at the junction with Queen's Road, on a canted corner.
