The palace was home to the 99th Doge of Venice, Francesco Molin. The building is listed by the Belle Arti because of the historical importance of its façades and its architecture. Its main façade is an example of the Gothic Fiorito style.[4]

The coat of arms over the entrance to Palazzo Molin belongs to the noble family of Molin. This represents a mill wheel and is the symbol of the house.[5]
