This magnificent building was originally built in 1878 adopting a classical revival style and then it was turn into Art Nouveau by Czech architect Oskar Polívka to meet public taste. The metal work of the balconies, the door with stain glasses, the wall covering mosaic (by Jan Preisler) have been greatly restored.
You can find this typical example of Czech Art Nouveau architecture in Vodickova street, only couple meters of Wenceslaus square.
