On the ground level, the bloc had several stores and a large cinema, also called the Carlton.The Carlton Bloc was designed by architects George Matei Cantacuzino and Vasile Arion.

The construction was carried out by the enterprise of the brothers Karl and Leopold Schindl. The calculations for the reinforced concrete structure that conferred the strength of the building were performed by the engineer Franz Schüssler.The Carlton Bloc collapsed during the November 10, 1940 Vrancea earthquake. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale, happened at 3:39 am (local time), when most residents were at home.
