The building combines elements of Renaissance and Baroque styles. In the second half of the 20th century, the future of the building was under a question. The local administration has to decide whether to reconstruct the whole building or to build a new one.

For reconstruction were spent about 10 million American dollars. After the reconstruction, there was a city administration as well as the town court.
