This monumental architecture was situated on a triangular plot, with a small plaza in front of it, close to another great buildings (e.g. the Main Post Office). It is articulated with Palladian half-columns and has a cut corner crowned by a modernised portico as well as a roof terrace. Originally, it was to serve as an elegant, spacious department store in the vein of Parisian or Budapest architecture of the fin-de-siècle (e.g. Párisi Nagy Áruház). Unfortunately, the Bazar Polski did not survive the market competition and the building was transformed into the seat of the publisher of the famed Polish newspaper. After the war it was the seat of another popular daily – Dziennik Polski.
