A three-storey corner house of Alfred Kästenbaum-Korsky, PhD, an attorney-at-law, was built in 1913, according to the main design of Viktor Beneš, an architect from Prague. The Kästenbaums (the Korskys since 1913)were a very prominent and wealthy Osijek Jewish family.

The house was designed by the Viennese architect Heinrich Adam in 1896. This, once representative, Neo-Baroque and Historicist building consisted of Winter’s law office and 2 flats.
