Architecture

This two-story building is made of plastered brick and is rectangular in its layout. The internal planning is sectional with an enfilade layout of the premises; the ceilings are flat. The composition of the main façade of the building is asymmetric with reinforced sides and is crowned with a stylized triangular side wall. The socle is riveted with natural stone. A balcony with a delicate metalwork fence on wrought iron consoles protrudes on the level of the second floor. The building is crowned with an arched frieze and a profiled cornice with a small projection. Wooden stairs with wrought iron railings have been preserved in the interior.               

This building is a vivid example of Modern architecture.
