It was built of cut stone in the neo-Moorish style. In the late 1980s the building was allocated to the use of the Regional Museum of Bosanski Novi, and was also entered on the register of cultural monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The building suffered earthquake damage in 1969 and 1982. In the 1980s the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Banja Luka drew up a project to repair the building, but the repairs were not carried out.
