The so-called "Engländerbau" was built in 1933 by the architect Erwin Hinderer as a commercial building. The clearly structured three-storey building has a flat hipped roof and is a good example of early modernism in Liechtenstein. The elongated steel skeleton structure was built with brickwork and clad with vertical travertine slabs. On the first floor, the west-facing façade is divided by display windows, while the windows on the two upper floors are arranged in regular rows. With the exception of the offices, the window openings on the upper floors were closed with filling elements made of profiled sheet metal panels as part of an Kunst am Bau project. There is a staircase cylinder on the north side of the building, which was placed in front of the façade.
