The facades and interiors were made according to the sketches of the famous sculptor and modeler A. G. Gromov. At the top of the building there were bank offices and a large hall for securities transactions, the mezzanine was reserved for "live photography", and the basement premises were occupied by commercial stores. The memory of the previous owners is still preserved by the statues of two griffins under the roof.
