Triton Construction has been appointed as main contractor to preserve and redevelop the Grade II listed Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds.
The £2.8m contract follows news that the venue has secured a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant with match funding from Leeds City Council to secure its future.
Hyde Park Picture house opened at the beginning of the First World War in November 1914. It was popular for screening patriotic dramas and newsreels to boost morale during the War.
