Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 58a – steam engine smokestack

Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 58a – steam engine smokestack ID: 1484

The steam engine smokestack of the Levynskyi factory was constructed between 1897 and 1898; it was designed by the bureau of Ivan Levynskyi, the owner of the renowned building materials factory. It is the sole surviving fragment of its western wing, which housed the joinery and carpentry workshops. An engine room was established in the center of the building, featuring a steam engine that powered a large mechanical saw. The smokestack is a valuable landmark of late-nineteenth-century industrial architecture.
