AB The aim of this material study is not the arts and crafts evaluation of the dispatcher building, but description and spatial definition of a documented platform partition. This requires a mention of the building development and a marginal description, at least of its architectural form and arts and crafts fittings, of its interior and exterior. The station became redundant in the early 1960s and slowly deteriorated since that time. Some arts and crafts fittings have irretrievably disappeared unfortunately, which is the reason for documenting a glassed panelled partition of a platform connected to the south façade of the building. This feature is unusual in the Prague centre and its future preservation is uncertain.
