Buildings located in the city centre, could not be higher of 23.47 m ( the height of the Winter Palace), and was not supposed to overshadow the domes of nearby churches.
Architect Sutro still managed to find a brilliant solution – he designed 6-этажное building with an elegant tower-куполом, on top of which was a glass globe with a diameter of 2.8 m.
