Inscription.   W 1905 r. w miejscu średniowiecznej kamienicy Pod Złotą Palmą i księgarni znanego wydawcy Priebatscha wzniesiono dom handlowy (projekt M. Kessel społka architektoniczna Schlesinger & Benedickt). Pierwotnie parter i piętro łączyła ogromna witryna, po pożarze w 1957 r. zastąpiona mniejszymi oknami.

In 1905 the medieval Golden Palm House and a bookshop of the well-known publisher Priebatsch were replaced with a department store (designed by M. Kessel and the Schlesinger & Benedickt architectural company). Originally the ground floor and the upper floor were connected by a giant shop window, which was substituted with smaller windows after the fire in 1957.
