Almost nothing remained of the original Baťa department store's facade in Teplice.

Description

Although the building looks quite different in its current state than it did in 1935, even then the architectural impact of the architecture was more discreet than that in the larger cities of Czechoslovakia.The former curtain wall gave the building a very modern, transparent appearance on the first and second floors. The third floor stepped back slightly and was part of the reinforced concrete construction.By dismantling the old curtain wall in 1966, the facade from the first to the third floor was covered with the only available panels at that time. 

Some historical pictures are on that website.

History

Baťa already owned a shop in Teplice before this building. In 1966, the facade was altered in such a way that the "new" design is very different from the previous one.

Based on this sad picture documenting the dismantling of the lettering, it can be assumed that the house is abandoned since 2014.
