Prague: Insurance Firm Praha

Insurance firm "Praha"

Designed by Osvald Polívka and constructed in 1907, the building of the Insurance Firm Praha graces 1011/7 Národní Trída Street not far from the National Theatre. Particularly beautiful is the design of upper windows enclosed in large, stylized Art Nouveau letters which spell the word Praha as well as mosaics and sculpted owls - favorite birds of the period.
