This building is quite a trip. The monstrous white pilasters and corbels are in contrast to jet-black  oriel windows and an otherwise completely undecorated facade (although that generally implies the facade was redone and the decoration removed). A mansard and hood arches, mullions and dormer windows. A long balcony and ornamentation. Is there anything this building doesn’t have?

The bottom of this building is so bland in comparison with the top floors (visible in the first picture), it is almost like another world.
