Vul. Fedorova, 27 – former residential building
ID:
2293
The townhouse
number 22 called Faygelesivska, later Korkesivska (pol. Feigelesowska,
Korkesowska) was built in the 17th century. It was a Renaissance
building with a spatial structure typical of that time. The building was
destroyed during the Second World War, together with the neighboring
townhouses. Today there is a vacant site in this place, where construction of a
hotel is planned.
History
17th century – a townhouse was built.
2nd half of the 18th
century – the front building adjacent to the neighboring townhouse was
constructed.
1856 – the fire wall was repaired.
1870s – the fourth floor was added
and a tin roof was arranged.
1928-1936 – repair works were
carried out.
1936 – the townhouse's second floor
premises were reconstructed, with a small kitchen and a bathroom arranged
(builder Adolf Wittmann).
1944 – the townhouse is destroyed.
The townhouse number 22 was built in the 17th century. In the second
half of the 18th century it was owned by the family of Mark
Abrahamovych, called Feigeles after his mother's name. In the 1767 tax
registry, the townhouse belonged to Mark Feigeles. This townhouse was not
directly adjacent to the neighbouring Korkesivska townhouse under number 20 as
there was a yard between them. Over time, this parcel was also purchased by the
Korkeses, who built a front house there. The Korkeses owned the townhouse till
the Shoah. In 1856 Wincent Rawski, a master builder, informed the Magistrate
that the fire wall had been damaged, which was to be remedied. Evidently, in
the 1870s another floor was added to the three-storied townhouse and a tin roof
was arranged.
From a 1928
correspondence between the townhouse owners and the Magistrate we know about a
poor condition of the building at that time. The Magistrate obliged the owners
to carry out conservation works. Due to lack of funds the repairs took longer
than expected and were not done in full; in particular, the courtyard remained
neglected. In 1936 Adolf Wittmann, a builder, designed a project of adapting
the second floor premises, with a small kitchen and a bathroom arranged there.
The townhouse was then owned by Josef Korkes, Markus Sunik, and Oskar Sunik.
The townhouse
was destroyed during the Second World War. Today there is a vacant site in this
place, where construction of a hotel complex is planned. The archaeological
research conducted on the vacant parts of Fedorova street did not affect it.
Architecture
The
four-storied townhouse number 22 was built of brick and stone in the
Renaissance style. It had a spatial structure typical of that time. A
three-flight staircase was located in the second tract. The architectural
design of the façade was modest. The main façade had four window axes with
rectangular lintels in profiled trimmings. The ground floor tier was vaulted,
with open stonework of white stone blocks on the façade, emphasized by a
profiled cornice. In the place, where the building was adjacent to the
neighbouring Korkesivska townhouse, its façade wall strengthened by the
powerful white stone buttress (in the part added by Korkes). The old
three-storied part was separated from the fourth floor by a developed cornice.
The two-storied wing in the south and a four-storied one in the north (vul.
Ruska, 10) formed a 3.5 m wide courtyard. The townhouse had an entrance gate
and entrances to the cellars.
