Three-storied building of austere morphological elements. The marble propylon at the entrance is one of the characteristic
elements of the building while the ground floor is also covered with marble and the
openings in between are filled with decorating ironworks. The architectural study was made
by the architect P. Kalkos (during the mayoralty of P. Kyriakou) and in October 1872 the
construction started to finish less than two years later in May 1874. Originally, the
building was two-story high, built in a strict neoclassic style. In 1901, during the
mayoralty of S. Mercouris, restoration and decoration works were conducted. In 1937 the
second floor was added.
