Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 45 – hospital building (formerly school) ID: 1940

The former Queen Jadwiga Gymnasium for Girls was constructed around 1930. This four-story building, which includes a basement level, is situated on an expansive plot bounded by Henerala Chuprynky, Zakharevycha, and Kotliarevskoho streets, occupying a significant portion of the city block. TThe architectural design featured simple prismatic forms in an L-shaped building set back from the front of the lot, with rows of rectangular windows on the unadorned façades. A horizontal string course separates the lower floor from the upper stories along the entire perimeter. The corner where Henerala Chuprynky and Zakharevycha streets meet is accented by an avant-corps. The eastern wing, which is finished with another avant-corps, was extended toward vul. Levynskoho during an expansion in the early 1960s. The interior layout follows a traditional educational scheme: corridors run the length of the wings, separating two rows of internal rooms. Today, the building serves as a hospital.
