Title:
Prague Credit Bank
Abstract:
After the impressive Bulgarian Commercial Bank, the architects built three more significant bank and insurance company buildings: the French-Bulgarian Bank in 1925, the Clerks' Cooperative Insurance Company in 1926 and the Bulgarian Phoenix Insurance Company in 1927. They chose Neo-Classical design for the first one and a more eclectic approach towards the other two, with various Neo-Classical elements. The Clerks' Cooperative Insurance Company has the richest Secession decoration, but it is combined with semi-columns and pilasters. The Prague Credit Bank is the last of the series and here the architects shifted their creative searches towards Art Deco architecture.
