Its distinctive façade, featuring intricate detailing and decorative elements, makes it a standout structure in the city’s landscape. The building has served various purposes over the years, contributing to its rich historical tapestry.
Initially, the Waldorf Building was designed to house both commercial and residential spaces, reflecting the multifunctional nature of urban architecture at the time.
