Some architectural features make this social housing a rich architecture.

Description

The apartment block features four entrances and four floors. The characteristic appearance of the block is created by the four avant-corps with balconies above each entrance. A small roof is attached to the cornice above the uppermost balcony. The avant-corps are supported by two columns, which frame the stairways to the entrance doors. In the cellars were storage rooms for fuel (coal?), a drying room and two washrooms. The ground floor is slightly different from the other floors as there are four two bedroom flats. On the first to third floors is added one bedroom flat to the other four two-room flats. The block consits of 76 flats. Each flat has its own balcony, which is usually designed as a veranda.

The roof seams flat, but is designed as a low pitched gable roof.

History

The block was built in two stages. The first two buildings were built in 1938. The occupation of Czechoslovakia delayed the construction work, why the other two buildings were not completed until 1941. The flats are designed as social housing. To this day, some flats are sold by real estate companies with original furnishings, such as fitted kitchens. However, all windows have already been replaced by new windows with plastic frames.
