  • The form of the building consists of several cuboids. It is characterized by expressive overhangs. Large glass surfaces are covered by sun-breakers. The lower parts of the walls are inclined. The culmination of the composition is slender service tower. The facades are finished with stone cladding. (Written by by Wojciech Niebrzydowski)

  • Used as a book store until the 1990s. Lots of signs and antennaes have been added and the interior has been altered to accomodate the new businesses. The syenite clad façade remains intact. Threatened by demolition although listed (last updated on March 6, 2017).
