Statement of Significance

This is the first of three buildings using the principle that Pabst describes as, "to design the floors alternatively in contrast to each other so that the first, third and fifth, etc. are identical counter curves to the second, fourth etc." On the ground and basement floors are shops. The next five floors and the north section of the sixth floor, have very simply planned flats. The seventh floor has servant quarters. An imposing corner block building.
