The building has been the most representative in town for decades, a real symbol for Constanta; it was also the only representative of \'art nouveau\' style in Romania. On the top of the building, the decorations consists of old ships representations (ram heads and alga garlands); inside there are staircases and imposing banisters, covered columns and marble girdles on the walls.
