Features
For Oskar Ewald's edifice, Józef Święcicki used characteristics of Eclecticism to adorn the facade, and especially neo-Baroque features. Its essential three-storey neo-baroque body is topped with a prominent cornice.
The top floor of the building housed originally Oskar Ewald's photographic studio. It had the corner-shape of the curved facade, and was covered by a glass roof.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ground floor of the building housed a flower shop run by Anna Stössel.
