The business premises were on the ground floor, which is equipped with large arched windows. An apartment for the bank manager was on the first floor. The house now serves as the administrative headquarters of the Württemberg State Theater .
The house stands out from its neo-baroque surroundings thanks to its orientation towards Renaissance and late Gothic architectural styles . It has on the facade to Ritterstraße a übergiebelten agent projections and at the corner of Küferstraße an ornate Eck oriel from stone . Apart from the Esslingen city coat of arms, emblems of trade and industry serve as building decorations.
