El Shorbagy Building fronts three main streets: 16 Adly Street, 165 Mohamed Farid Street, and 42 Abdel Khalek Tharwat Street.
Completed in 1910 by Welsh architect Robert Williams, it reflects medieval Welsh-inspired architecture. The property comprises five floors, with two main wooden entrances in Islamic style on Adly and Mohamed Farid, plus a secondary entrance on Abdel Khalek Tharwat. Its façades are distinguished by red-brick detailing.

In 1947, ownership passed to the Shorbagy brothers. The ground floor was dedicated to retail uses .
