History[edit]
The house was built in 1892-1893, designed by Bydoszcz's architect Józef Święcicki for Carl Peschel, a rentier. At the time, the address was 57 Danziger Straße, Bromberg.[2]
Since its creation, the edifice has been conceived as a renting house (more than 15 inhabitants were registered at this address in 1900)[3] and commercial building.
Features[edit]
The building has an eclecticism style facade.
The red brick wall contrasts with the rich, neo-baroque details, the rococo stuccoes -distant reminiscence of northern Mannerism.[4] On the symmetry axis of this two-winged building is placed a gate door with wrought iron decorative elements.
In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices, among which:
- Hotel "Pod Orlem" at 14 Gdańska Street;
- Oskar Ewald Tenement at 30 Gdańska Street;
- Józef Święcicki tenement at 63 Gdańska Street;
- Tenement at 86 Gdańska Street;
- Villa Hugo Hecht at 88-90 Gdańska Street;
- Hugo Hecht tenement at 92-94 Gdańska Street
