Te-Ta (1933)

The four vertical zones of the ribbon windows determine the facade and the rhythm of the house. The two zones in the middle of the ribbon windows have slightly lower sills. This creates the windows characteristic of Fürth and Mühlstein with a small lower window. In addition, the central emphasis of the facade is tpical for both architects. On the ground floor are located the entrances to the former department tore, today the shops, a garage and the passage, leading to the park Františkánská zahrada. At the back the house is connected to a building from the Renaissance period. Above the ground floor is a prominent canopy bearing the original preserved lettering of the former department store. The rooms of the department store led up to the first floor, marked with other windows, namely casement windows and fixed windows in alternation. The top floor is set back, giving the flats a roof terrace. A pole on the facade of the roof terrace once hold the lettering Teta verical, which has not been preserved.

The house was built in 1933/34 as one of many Prague department stores of this time. In the socialistic time it was called House of Sports (Dům sportu). The last extensive reconstructions took place in the 1990s.
