The gallery is situated on Halithon street and is part of a building complex. It is a typical example of Neo-classical Greek architecture intended for commercial and industrial buildings of the late 19th and early 20th century. The walls are made of stone not covered with masonry. The front wall of the building, on Halithon str. is constructed with stones of equal size, beautifully sculptured. The aesthetic result is rather impressive. The openings on the ground floor follow the rules of the commercial Neo-classical buildings. The openings of the 1st floor are supported by austere uniform pseudo-pillars. Their ornate heads support the cornice, lightly decorated with reliefs.
