About the Cathedral of St. Stefan has written a lot. I noticed another house in the square, the Equitable Palace. It was designed by Andreas Streit in 1887-1891. The palace is named after the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. On its facade you can see American eagles; however, some elements of the design of the main entrance are reminiscent of the history of this place - for example, bronze reliefs on the doors of the work of Rudolf Weyr (Rudolf Weyr). The palace was damaged during World War II, but was restored until 1949. In 1997, the entrance was renovated by sculptor Rudiger Lainer. Now there are boutiques and offices of various companies and organizations.
