What a magnificent building. Shame to see another ghost hat showroom though. Looks like it's been converted into an apt building?

There was an Event Agency in the "Hutmacher P. & C. Habig" but looks like they moved out recently. Here are some photos of what it looks like inside. (There is also a photo of the main retail shop that was at a different location in Vienna but didn't survive WWII.)

The Hof runs most of the block. I would guess it's a combination of shops, apartments and offices.

Rehfus Hutfabrikanten Homburg, measures ~ 61cm, probably mid to later 1950s. The model name is actually "Homburg" and in very good condition. This is my first Rehfus & Cie and it's very well made but a very large size.
