The building was erected in the first
half of the 20th c. In the second half of that century it was owned
by Pessel Bałaban, a publisher. Its present-day appearance is a result of a reconstruction
in 1912-1913 under a project designed by Karol Boublik, who was commissioned by
Maurycy Wurm. This architectural monument (protection no. 768) features a
unique interior staircase decorated with mosaics and artificial marble.
