This building was built between 1843 and 1859 and served as administrative head of county Severin (1860-1880) and Caras-Severin (1881-1926), and the Prefecture of Severin County (1927-1948). It is a monumental building that closes the east side of Joseph Constantin Dragan Square. The façade is imposing, sober, with aspects of neoclassical architecture. Over time, the interior was much altered, while preserving intact interior stairways and the floor, which were made of massive tree trunks.
