The building plan was originally designed by the architect Ödön Lechner from Budapest. Because of financial reasons, at the request of the city management the plan was modified by the architect Ferenc Pekar from Arad. From the old plan, the new project has kept only three floors in the main entrance, closing a side from the park. The 54 m high tower is reminder regarding the Flemish municipalities, many elements of Flemish Renaissance ornamentation can be found on the building. The main entrance to the building is done on an impressive scale covered with red marble that leads upstairs to a large imposing hall.
