Vul. Drukarska, 11 – residential building

Early 19^th c. – a stone house is built in place of an old wooden one.
1912 – a four-story residential house is built in place of the previous one.

The house was built in 1912 in place of an old one which was erected in the early nineteenth century. The old little one-story house was situated at the corner of the then Nyzhnia Virmenska (“Lower Armenian”, now Lesi Ukrainky) and Drukarska streets. In 1864 the latter did not have a name; it was called “the street that leads to the wood market”. The wood market was at that time in present-day Danyla Halytskoho square. This old house was built instead of a wooden house which had been situated between the low and the high town walls before these walls were demolished at the turn of the nineteenth century.

The present-day four-story house was built and owned by the constructor Michał Makowicz, a Ukrainian. Michał Makowicz was the author of the first project of Taras Shevchenko monument in Lviv (1898). In 1912, he was also on the jury of the contest for the construction of the Craftsmen Unions Society’s building (now Lviv regional puppet theater). The house built by Makowicz differs from the other buildings on Drukarska street by its shape and scale. Its style was influenced by late Secession which was the leading style of Europe’s architecture at that time.

In 1913, the house was inhabited by small traders and Jewish profiteers. Among the other residents the actress Stefania Wołoszyn, the restaurant keeper Adolf Stern, the merchant Sałomon Bardach can be mentioned.
