Earlier, there were side entrances, which were closed later, and new ones were made, from other sides, out of which the front façade was built with the three arches, modeled on ancient architecture.

The inner space, steel-wooden trellis structure, construction of the ceiling, as well as the basement cold stores represent the example of modern way of dealing with the interior space. Inside the great hall there is a clock designed in the style of Art Nouveau, which still exists today.
