The Düsseldorf architects and engineers' association praised the facade design in the neo-Gothic style and the floor plan of the house.

"The Schneidersche commercial building, Mittelstrasse 11, built in 1896 by the architect Hermann vom Endt, offers a good floor plan solution for a small corner construction site and shows neat, modern-Gothic forms in its house facade (Fig. 460, 461 and 462)."

Jörg Heimeshoff describes the building in Listed Houses in Düsseldorf . The stone facing or stone are remarkable here facings , curtain bows , crab occupied arches blend tracery , shell-shaped windows and dormers with hipped :

The commercial building in 2011

“The three-storey corner house on Mittelstrasse was built in 1898 by Hermann vom Endt. In 1946 the shoppers on the first floor were added. The two windows facing Mittelstrasse on this floor were created in 1975. The facade to Wallstrasse is divided into two parts. The right part shows two axes with an arched entrance in the right axis. All openings have natural stone surrounds. Curtain arches adorn the lintels of the upper floors. The wall surfaces are plastered. The left half of the facade and the facade facing Mittelstrasse are characterized by high, crab-studded arches that combine the ground floor and the first floor. Modern shop window systems define the ground floor. These facade sections are faced with natural stone, apart from the modern designed areas on the 1st floor and the plastered areas on the 2nd floor facing Wallstrasse. Four windows with curtain arches illuminate the second floor on Mittelstrasse, two more the gable on this side, and tracery adorns the gable field, which has a banner in the lower parapet area. The verge is ornamented. The top of the gable opens below a crown with a shell-shaped window. The house has a slate-thatched gable roof with two crooked hips facing Wallstrasse "
