Proiectată inițial ca locuință, construcția în stil eclectic, cu elemente plastic-decorative de origini neoclasiciste de origini franceze, a fost închiriată în perioada 1897–1906 pentru sediul Pârcălăbiei/Prefecturii judeţului Covurlui. În lungul șir de proprietari se remarcă Evstratie Ivan Geshov, care provenea dintr-o familie puternică de bancheri şi negustori bulgari, iar la momenul moștenirii imobilului, era ministru de finanțe al Bulgariei. Putem spune că această clădire emblematică a renăscut după 150 de ani, și-a redobândit strălucirea de altădată și a fost redată comunității, după lucrările ample de restaurare pe care le-am derulat cu fonduri europene.

The Jews were concerned, from the beginning of their settlement,with their religion. At first, they met in prayer homes installed in residential homes and then by building synagogues by different categories of parishioners who were frequenting them. Thus, in 1780, the Great Synagogue was set up and also a mikwe with a steam bath was installed. The Great Synagogue also functioned as headquarters for the first Jewish Community in Galati (epitropia).

Port and trade fair, the old Galati excelled with inns, because from here the water roads to the East and the West began and also the land to Moldavia and Muntenia. From such an inn, situated on the land road leading to the North, there is still a gateway, and beneath the ground, enormous cellars for wine barrels.
