My favorite building on Náměstí Republiky in 1998

The above photograph shows my favourite building on the square. I know, it’s not the most decorative of buildings - and if it’s decorative you’re looking for, Plzeň’s Náměstí Republiky is not a bad place to start - my building, though, is plain, simple and rather boxy. I like boxy architecture 
It’s quite sad to see it this way - empty and with it’s signs missing. I think this photograph was taken when it was for sale (or rent).
In the early 90s it was home to a glass and porcelain shop which was very popular with the passengers of coaches on their whistle-stop tour of the Czech Republic but now it I believe it houses a mobile telephone shop and a banking / insurance company.
I prefered it as a glass and porcelain shop.
