The spatially structured four-storey building designed as the representative headquarters of the District Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia with a receding top floor surrounded by a roof terrace was set, in an open space, with ideologically tuned sculptural decoration (the monument to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and the Red Army Memorial). The building, laid out in four interconnected blocks, is unified by the distinctive roofing of the entrance area on the ground floor. The original form of the façade, with its combination of brizolitic plaster and stone ground floor tiling, has unfortunately not survived after a recent extensive reconstruction. The concrete access ramp at the main entrance to the building is also non-original, replaced by an abstract sculpture by Petr and František Schenk. Today, the building lacks its original character and serves as the headquarters of the District Police Department of the Czech Republic.
