description

The two-storey building rests on a low grooved white plinth with barred basement windows. The facade is characterized by the contrast between the white architectural decoration and the light terracotta of the flat-banded facade. The seven window axes on the first floor, arranged in a row, are suspected of having alternating pointed gables and bent arched gables on consoles . In the fall fields between the consoles there are grotesques framed by rich baroque foliage. The upper floor has simpler, segment-arched windows and frames with ears . Volute consoles support the entablature of the cornice with parapet balustrade. A band runs between the consoles with alternating elongated windows with concave rounded corners and rectangular plastered fields with rich baroque ornamentation. The side arched portal is adorned with festoons , double volutes , cartouches and foliage, as well as suspected swinging, cranked entablature. On the left-hand side, a short piece of the garden wall creates a connection to the Palais Wessely next door . A round arch portal with rich baroque ornamentation and a curved round arch roof leads into the inner courtyard. The wall is decorated with a window that is divided into three parts by two pilasters . The middle part is suspected of having a curved pointed gable.

Inside, the vestibule has a remarkable feature: an opaion with a view of the stucco ceiling of the room above. The paneling of the large salon is Louis XV style. in white and gold. The ceiling of the salon is adorned with paintings by Julius Berger and Tina Blau , painted on canvas and inset , which Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch took part in during their studies. They show Flora , Bacchus and probably Ariadne .

The wrought iron work came from Albert Milde , who was a kuk court locksmith.
