Vul. Henerala Chuprynky, 68 – residential building ID: 1508

This multi-unit apartment building was constructed between 1913 and 1916. The design was developed by architect Jan Bagieński and master builder Roman Żurowski. The massive corner townhouse features three stories and a mansard. Its layout is nearly square in configuration. The architectural composition is characterized by a blend of regularity and asymmetry (featuring diverse window shapes and an irregular silhouette of the gables and roof). The internal layout is based on the principle of a free and flexible arrangement of rooms. The building can be classified as an example of early Modernist architecture.
