Palais Equitable

The Palais Equitable is an office building in Stock-im-Eisen-Platz (now part of Stephansplatz) in the Innere Stadt of Vienna, Austria, that was built in the 19th century for The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and that incorporates a Stock im Eisen on one corner.

The Stock im Eisen, enclosed in glass, is in a niche on the Kärntner Straße corner of the building, and bronze reliefs by Rudolf Weyr on the main doors depict its history.

[5][6]) A painting on the ceiling of the lobby and the stucco ornamentation on the second floor are by Julius Victor Berger.

Wilhelm Beck & Söhne, providers of uniforms to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had its shop in the building, and the United States consulate was located there.

[8] Today the building houses offices of various companies and organizations including the Austrian division of Sal.
