The corner building of 5 storeys, owned by affluent entrepreneurs, was built next to the many immeubles near the representational Mickiewicza Avenue. In spite of its large volume, it is an elegant and interesting building, both in terms of its sophisticated finishing of the entrance hall and staircase (black limestone) and the articulation of elevations. The corner was accentuated by a three-storey, slightly cantilevered part. The elevation from the side of the Kossaka Sq. is rendered expressive by means of horizontal bands above windows and cornices.
