Description
On the one hand the facade design is emphatically modern, on the other hand the historical reference to the older buildings in the centre of Tábor was also preserved, like the crenellated facade as the highest point. Even if the historic houses have staggered gables, it is an attempt to continue the local building tradition. The staggering of the facade in protruding and receding areas, the one-story porch at the corner, is probably also intended to give the impression of an organically grown, apparently older house. This photo clearly shows that the house was built as a reinforced concrete structure.
The coat of arms of Czechoslovakia used to be above the main entrance. Also the lettering Finanční úrady was removed from the facade because the tax office no longer uses this building.

History
Almost nothing is written about this building. The previous building was demolished in the 1930s. The year of construction is nowhere specifically mentioned, however on a picture, showing the house's construction, is mentioned the year 1935. Initially it was built for the town's finance offices, today it is used for the municipality and the police.
