"Dnešní palác Koruna stojí na míste, kde na konci 19. století stával dum U Spinku. Ten byl zbourán v roce 1910 a na jeho míste vznikl v letech 1911-1912 palác ve slohu pozdní secese. Šlo o jeden z prvních domu s železobetonovou konstrukcí. Palác projektovali architekti Antonín Pfeiffer a Matej Blecha. Základem stavby je železobetonová skeletová konstrukce, zasahující dve patra pod zemí a ctyri patra nad zemí. Budova má lomenou pruchozí pasáž s dvoranou a také má výraznou nárožní vež s korunou podpíranou atlanty, dvorana má kupoli s vitrážemi."
