Architecture
The corner house has six axes from Brativ Rohatyntsiv street and four axes from Halytska street, with the entrance from the latter. It has six stories and attic premises in the roof. It is built of brick, plastered and designed in the classic Art Nouveau style. The façades are divided vertically by feebly marked lesenes. The first two stories are accentuated by large shop windows; the ground floor is made in imitation of rusticated stonework; the last floor is accentuated by a pediment. The façade facing Brativ Rohatyntsiv street is accentuated by a two-axis central partition that have little balconies with simple railings at the level of the fourth and fifth floors. The same balconies were made on the two central axes from the side of Halytska street. The rounded corner is accentuated by big balconies. A Hygieia relief is installed over the corner entrance to the pharmacy.
