One of the most beautiful examples of the architecture of the Cracovian School (Art Dèco). It is marked by the finesse of its articulated facade with triangular avant-corps and with sgraffito decorations in the bands between the windows and ones framing the gate with its stepped portal. Moreover, an interesting formal solution was applied here: above the cornice of the residential part, a recessed, flat parapet wall was situated, contributing to the overall expression of the facade. The four-storey building was equipped, from the beginning, with a lift and with both a main and rear staircase. Architecture accentuates the prestige of the client – the oldest Polish alma mater.
