The building of the State Insurance Institute of the Rhine Province was built in 1895–1896 on the corner of Friedrichstrasse / Adersstrasse in Düsseldorf in the style of "modernized Renaissance forms" ( neo-renaissance ) according to plans by the architects Hubert Jacobs and Gottfried Wehling . As early as 1901, an extension had to be carried out by Hermann vom Endt on Luisenstrasse. The building thus had a facade on three street fronts and a constructed area of ​​1860 m².

The building had a basement, a raised ground floor and two upper floors. The basement was 3.36 m high. It contained a caretaker's apartment, three messenger apartments, the utility rooms of the first officer’s apartment, and a few office, registry and box rooms. The ground floor was 4.80 m high, the first floor was 4.75 m and the second floor was 4.25 m high. Office and service rooms were located on the first and second floors. Both the agricultural trade association and the arbitration tribunal for workers' insurance had halls and rooms in the building complex. The arbitral tribunal also received a conference room with a cash register.
