Vul. Doroshenka, 50 – residential building

The building occupies a rectangular plot incorporated in the continuous housing tract of the block located in the perimeter of Doroshenka, Kameniariv, Krushelnytskoyi, and Slovatskoho streets. This is the eastern part of the old parcel under conscription number 101 2/4 whose stripe crosses the block transversely. Its western half is occupied by the townhouse number 13 on Krushelnytskoyi street. The two houses were built almost at the same time; they have a common courtyard and their wings’ ends border on each other.

The townhouse on Doroshenka street 50 has three floors and a seven-window symmetrical main façade oriented along the street regulation line. The façade is flanked by protruded wall sections; its center is accentuated by a balcony on the second floor and a large rectangular opening of the entrance gate.

The façade is rusticated, with more massive rustication blocks on the ground floor; the upper floors are covered with strips of lighter rustication. There are cornices above each floor. The upper cornice is complemented with modillions and with stripes of denticles and egg-and-dart ornament. The composition structure is dominated by horizontal divisions. The windows have shaped trimmings. The second floor window openings are topped with triangular pediments while the third floor windows have linear pediments.

The house has a U-shaped layout, traditional for townhouses consisting of a front main building which is supplemented with wings. A passage, arranged in the center of the building, leads to the courtyard. At the end of the passage, on the right hand, there is an entrance to a spacious staircase.

The front building contains two rows of residential premises connected between themselves according to the enfilade principle. From the courtyard one can see the rear façade without any decoration, encircled by balcony galleries. There are auxiliary stairs on the wings’ edges.

Concerning the townhouse decoration, attention can be paid to the forged decorations of the balcony on the main façade (the railing lattice and cantilevers) as well as to the authentic wooden gates of the central entrance; in the main staircase interior there is a winding structure of the wooden stairs with a forged railing. The house is typical for the Lviv Neo-Renaissance residential architecture.
