Its sandstone-clad facade has four five-storey bay windows and balcony recesses at the outer axes. The front building dates from 1937–1938, the three wings from 1939–1940.
The building was designed by Jerzy Gelbard and Roman Sigalin for the Pal family, owners of the Wola chemical factory "Dobrolin". The five-storey front block was built in 1937–1938, and three four-storey wings followed in 1939–1940. It was entered in the monument register in 2011.
A plaque on the facade marks that the actress Ida Kamińska lived in the building from 1960 to 1968. She directed the Jewish Theatre in Warsaw, which she had led since 1950 and which was renamed after her in 1970.
The building remains a residential structure accessible from the street, with the commemorative plaque clearly visible on its exterior wall. Historical features can typically be viewed from the street level or glimpsed through windows without disturbing residents.
The four five-storey bay windows spaced at single-axis intervals are a signature of the architects Jerzy Gelbard and Roman Sigalin, who designed the house for the Pal family, owners of the Wola chemical works "Dobrolin".
