Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 58a – residential building (formerly factory building) ID: 1480

The eastern wing of the Levynskyi factory was constructed between 1885 and 1886 based on a design developed by Ivan Levynskyi's bureau. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, the building was continuously expanded and modified. By the late 1890s, it occupied the eastern portion of the factory grounds. Following several renovations, it was transformed from a small utility structure into a two-story, L-shaped building that served both residential and administrative functions: the factory owner, I. Levynskyi, resided here, and the building also housed his firm's office. Today, the factory's former eastern wing serves as a multi-unit apartment building.
