The building, an example of the Beaux-Arts architecture style, features a large central hall and well-designed circulation spaces.
The building features four above-ground stories and two basement levels housing an exhibition room.
The decorative ironwork details of the building were manufactured by "Mina Hnos.
", a company which also manufactured ironwork for the Club de la Unión, the Palacio Ariztía and the building housing the Banco Central.
