The architectural details of Lichtenstein House, in particular the interior, have only survived in the form of an extremely short monograph from the end of the 19th century. Nearly all of the documents that could have provided information about the house's structural changes over the past centuries, along with files of the city building authority, were destroyed during the Second World War. In this regard, knowledge of the house's past architectural features has to be constructed through a number of negligible photographs as well as old non-photographic images. A lot can therefore be only conjecture, which, like many historical details, is more or less supported mostly by analogies to comparable buildings.
