As it stood in 1869
The shape it held in its prime.
Symmetrical Neo‑Renaissance stone façade in light beige sandstone with a rusticated ground level, a five‑arch entrance arcade, five tall round‑arched windows on the piano nobile separated by paired columns, a balustraded terrace, and two large bronze rooftop statues on pedestals with a green copper dome visible behind. Flanking wings mirror the central block; carved friezes and medallions run beneath the cornice. The scale is urban and monumental, set directly on the Ringstraße.
