The originally Gothic Town Hall was presumably built as early as in the 16th century. Later it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, and in the 1760s it acquired a new Baroque appearance. The Baroque reconstruction was based on the project by J. Schwanitzer (also called Schlesinger). The front of the Town Hall faces Rabínská Street, and it is one of the few old ghetto buildings with a Baroque decorative facade, which was quite common in other parts of Prague. A part of the building is a wooden tower with a Hebrew clock. In 1908 the construction was extended by three floors. The Jewish Town Hall is the only secular building of the ghetto which was saved during the slum clearance.
