Leta 1903 so delavci pod vodstvom Jožefa Rinalda ustanovili svoj konzum, ki je bil nameščen v Šuntajsovi hiši v spodnjem delu Petelinove vasi. Kmalu so ga morali zapreti, ker Rinaldo ni mogel plačati dveh vagonov moke. Zanj se je zavzel Ignac Sitter, med somišljeniki je zbral potreben denar, ga položil na sodišču in s tem dosegel, da so konzum lahko spet odprli. Po tem dogodku so delavci sklenili, da si zgradijo svoj Delavski dom. Prva denarna podlaga zanj je bila vsota 5000 kron, ki jo je imel konzum v hranilnici. Od Petra Groblerja so leta 1909 kupili stavbno parcelo, ki je nekoč pripadala Pavšarjevi kmetiji. V zemljiški knjigi so parcelo vpisali na imena: Ignacij Sitter, Franc Gradišek, Andrej Bravec in Janez Jeretin. Na naslov Stavbne in gostilničarske zadruge Delavski dom je bila posest prepisana leta 1914. Poslopje je bilo zgrajeno leta 1910. V domu so bili trgovina, gostilna in društveni prostori. Čez 10 let pa so mu prizidali še dvorano za prireditve.
Leta 1954 so staro stavbo podrli, ker so pod njo gradili nov Delavski dom, katerega otvoritev je bila 29. 11. 1956. Temu sta se poleg starega Delavskega doma morali umakniti tudi Povšetova gostilna in Zdolškova hiša.
Ker je stavba nastala že v pred televizijskih časih, je v njej veliko prostora, na odru, v zaodrju, v obeh velikih dvoranah, v predavalnici in kadilnici, v kleti, v kletnih in pomožnih prostorih, v preddverjih pa še pred stavbo samo in za njo. V zgornje preddverje gre z lahkoto petsto zabave željnih. Sodoben kino premore 356 sedežev. Glavna gledališka dvorana pa 434 sedežev.
Pročelje stavbe, ki je od vhoda proti levi najprej vzbočeno, potem pa se večkrat stopničasto zalomi, krasi mogočen mozaik Marija Preglja, ki je bil zaradi arhitekture stavbe tudi razdeljen na štiri dele. Stensko okrasje, sestavljeno iz barvnih kamenčkov, prikazuje umetnikovo razmišljanje o vojni in miru. Za mozaik je avtor leta 1958 prejel Prešernovo nagrado. Občina pa ga je z odlokom leta 1996 razglasila za kulturni spomenik.
Dominantna arhitektura z zunanjim funkcionalnim prostorom je tako celostno zasnovana v slogu moderne arhitekture 50. let 20. stol. (O. Gaspari, M. Zupančič).
Pred objektom sta plastiki rudarjev kiparja S. Batiča iz 1956, postavljeni leta 1974, ob vznožju in zaključku stopnišča pred Delavskim domom. Junaka podzemlja, ki ju prepoznamo po atributih (čelada, svetilka, kompresor), stojita trdno vzravnana na plitvem podnožju. Preizkušena sta v nenehnem boju z naravo, imata grobo modeliran in mogočni telesni volumen, ki je na površini prepreden z reliefnimi grafičnimi motivi.
In 1903, workers under the leadership of Joseph Rinalda set up their own consume, which was installed in the Šuntajs house in the lower part of Petelinova vas. They soon had to close it because Rinaldo could not pay two wagons of flour. Ignac Sitter took his place for him, he collected the necessary money among the convicts, placed him in court, and thereby reached the point that the consume could be opened again. After this event, workers decided to build their own Workers' Home. The first monetary base for him was the sum of 5000 crowns held by the conservator in the savings bank. From Peter Grobler, in 1909, they purchased a building plot that once belonged to Pavšar's farm. In the land register, the parcel was entered into the names: Ignacij Sitter, Franc Gradišek, Andrej Bravec and Janez Jeretin. The estate was rewritten in 1914 at the address of the Building and Catering Cooperative Delavski dom. The building was built in 1910. In the house there were shops, inns and social spaces. In 10 years, he was added to the Hall for events. In 1954, the old building collapsed because it was built by a new Workers' Home, whose opening was on 29 November 1956. Apart from the old Delavski Dom, Povšet's restaurant and Zdolšek house also had to be withdrawn. Since the building was built in front of television times, there is a lot of space on the stage, in the backyard, in both large halls, in the lecture room and in the censer, in the basement, in the basement and auxiliary rooms, and in the lobby only in front of the building her. In the upper lobby, there are five hundred fun people eager to go. A modern cinema has 356 seats. The main theater hall is 434 seats. The facade of the building, which is first bent down from the entrance to the left, then stumbles repeatedly, is adorned by the magnificent mosaic Marija Preglja, which, due to the architecture of the building, is also divided into four parts. Wall decorations made of colored stones show the artist's thinking about war and peace. In 1958, for the mosaic, the author received the Prešeren Prize. By the decree of 1996 the municipality declared it a cultural monument. The dominant architecture with an exterior functional space is thus integrated in the style of modern architecture in the 1950s. (O. Gaspari, M. Zupančič). In front of the building there are plastics miners of sculptor S. Batič from 1956, built in 1974, at the foot of the staircase at the foot of the Radav dom. The hero of the underworld, which is recognized by attributes (helmet, lamp, compressor), stands firmly up to the shallow base. They are tested in an endless struggle with nature, they have a roughly modeled and powerful body volume, which is superimposed on the surface by relief graphic motifs.
