Doing a google search I found this: "Petschek Palace: this monumental neo-Classicist building was erected between 1923 and 1929 by the Prague banker and head of the financial council Dr. Julius Petschek for his bank. Immediately after the Nazi occupation of Prague in 1939, the building was taken over by the Gestapo. Thousands of Czechs were interrogated and tortured here. Shortly after the war, a memorial was installed in the building’s basement."
