Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 33 – medical institution building (formerly residential) ID: 1506

This private residence was constructed between 1897 and 1898, based on a design by the architect and builder Michał Kovalchuk. It is a two-story corner building with an L-shaped plan, set back from the street by front flowerbeds and a fence. The entryway and stairwell are located in the northern section of the building, positioned against the firewall shared with building No. 31. The silhouette of the facades is defined by a striking corner turret topped with a spire. The exterior finish features exposed polychrome brickwork and carved wooden consoles supporting canopies, while the decorative plasterwork incorporates Neobaroque motifs.
