Description
An impressive house with a classic construction of a Prague tenement house of the time. That includes seven storeys, the top storey slightly set back, creating roof terraces. The small special features of this house are the large oriel with ribbon windows along Veletržní Street. In order not to achieve too strict symmetry, a small oriel was added to Jankovského Street, which supports two small balconies on the fifth floor.The architectural attraction is the column positioned at the corner. It loosens up the building forms. The shop windows and the entrance to the shop are pulled back. Whether the flow of pedestrians in and out of the shop is improved by this column, might answer the users.
Due to the house's position on the road, the house has a tiny backyard and almost all windows face the streets.

History
This house was built in 1934. It is written, that Karel Janů managed some modifications in 1944 without saying what. The last renovation work on the house does not seem to have been carried out with the greatest care, as the facade is very stained and some of the plaster is falling off.
