The facade is symmetrical, except for the wooden door leading to the entrance hall cut into the right edge of the building, which is decorated with decorative elements of wood and metal. The entrance hall is richly decorated, there is a wide stone staircase, the interior space is divided by pilasters with profiled Corinthian capitals, and the ceiling is surrounded by a rich floral ornament.
