The existing shape of a building dates from the 1860s-1870s when the arch window of the attic was altered, the wrought-iron balcony was added, and strict classical scenery of the main facade was replaced by the stucco molding with decorations.

Lay-out and architectural furnishings of the first quarter of 19th century remain still in the lobby with its grand staircase and oval hall with the balconies.
