At this point in time, the gardens side of the building already had its rococo balusters, stucco curtains, and Greco-Roman statues, as seen by the drawings of Josephus Jones.

The architecture of the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands in the 18th century served as a source of inspiration for the design of the structure, which featured aspects of both Neo-classicism and Baroque styles.

Currently, the president's office is located within the building. Although it is not open to the general public, it is possible to catch a peek of it through some reeds while you are in the Company's Garden.
