Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 56 – residential building ID: 1507

This apartment building was constructed between 1909 and 1910. The design was developed by architect Jan Bagieński and master builder Wojciech Dembiński. A three-story townhouse is integrated into the block's perimeter development and features a symmetrical façade aligned with the property line. The structure is topped by two Neogothic gables, between which sits a balustrade featuring tracery. The internal axis of symmetry is defined by the entryways and the stairwell, with apartments arranged symmetrically on either side. An avant-corps projecting from the courtyard side gives the floor plan a T-shaped configuration. It is a prime example of Late Historicist architecture.
