Summary/Abstract: The building from no. 102, Domnească Street, Galaţi, imposing through its presence, but also having a certain discretion, conveyed by the sculpture of the facades, hides a still little investigated history. Nevertheless, the intent of the owner, to demolish the building, imposed the necessity to puruse some archive investigations in order to acquire the required data that could prevent the demolition of the palace looking like edifice. Built along several stages, starting with the last two decades of the XIX-th century and until the fourth decade of the XX-th century, the edifice belonged to some owners that brought a noticeable contribution to the history of the town. After 1950, the edifice from no. 102, Domnească Street, hosted one of the most feared institution of those days: the Security of the State. The present study represents the first step in bringing to the fore an edifice still little known.
