It is shown that a Lagrangian, describing the interaction of the gravitation field with the dilaton and the antisymmetric tensor in arbitrary dimension spacetime, admits an isotropic p-brane solution consisting of three blocks. Relations with known p-brane solutions are discussed. In particular, in ten-dimensional spacetime the three-block p-brane solution is reduced to the known solution, which recently has been used in the D-brane derivation of the black hole entropy.
