It was created using the method of loci, which was also used by Charles Augustus Magnussen. It was fist mentioned in The Hounds of Baskaville where he used it to remember the meaning of H.O.U.N.D. The inside was first seen in The Sign of Three where Sherlock uses it to figure out the case of the mayfly man. There he created a courtroom with all of the witnesses he chatted with.

Irene Adler, also known as The Woman, also appeared there later but disappeared after Sherlock told her that she distracted him. It was later seen in His Last Vow after he got shot by Mary Watson to help him stay alive. It was later revealed that Magnussen's files were also just part of his personal mind palace.
