This elegant art nouveau
building occupies one quarter of Pelikanplaz
in central Zurich. It was apparently
designed by the architect Herman Weideli and
built between 1909 and 1915. Matching
towers occupy the corners of the building on
which there are bas-relief sculptures.
The one shown below is of Winged-Mercury, a
symbol often found on buildings that are or
were telephone exchanges.
