The Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry has four Ionic columns, which define the layout of the facade.

Neoclassical building, one of the few in the city, with Ionic style facade. It has rich decoration and the building is crowned with a roof chamber, something that is rarely found in the city centre.
The late neoclassicism with the Ionian pseudo-columns was a reaction to the Turko-Baroque eclecticism of public buildings and villas of the Ottoman period, and functioned as a link between the modern Greeks of multicultural Thessaloniki and the ancient Greek past.
