The house Martinspforte (also old town pharmacy) is a listed building at Kämmererstraße 60 in Worms. The shape of the house, built in 1904 according to plans by Georg Metzler, is based on the late medieval or early modern Martinspforte, a nearby gate of the inner city wall, which was destroyed in 1689.
A five-storey tower made of sandstone blocks with a slate roof and a wooden balcony emphasizes the corner situation of the triangular building site between Friedrichstrasse and Kämmererstrasse. The tower is adjoined as side wings in both streets by three-storey rendered buildings on a sandstone base, each of which ends with a four-storey Renaissance-style dwelling.
The visible facade of the tower shows the coat of arms of the city of Worms between the third and fourth floors.

The building at the northern entrance to the city center of Worms offers something for the eye.
