The six-storey building known as Majolikahaus(Majolica House) was designed by the architect Otto Wagner in 1898, as well as its neighbour building, the House of Medallions (at number 38), with which forms an architectonical set of the Wiener Secession style.
Its large and wide façade features some of the main characteristics of this artistic style. Tiled with majolica, presents a floral decoration which served as a distinction between the ground floor, dedicated to shops, and the upper housing floors. At present, the edifice remains with its intentional program, with retail shops on the ground floor and apartments above. The building is classified as a Denkmalgeschütztes Objekt (protected object-monument) by the Austrian government.
