Pl. Henerala Hryhorenka, 5 – "Voskresinnia" Theater (former residential building)

The house number 5 on Hryhorenka square, the former Grüner’s townhouse, is located in the central part of the city, to the west of the historical center. It occupies an elongated section, whose strip, oriented along the south-north axis, is wedged in the dense housing of the block encircled by Mentsynskoho, Horodotska, Nalyvaika, Hnatiuka streets and Hryhorenka square. The monumental townhouse has four floors and a tier of attic premises under a high roof.

The five-axis main (south) façade, built along the regulatory line, is divided vertically by a row of shaped lesenes arranged in the spaces between the large windows; it is also divided horizontally by three tiers of balconies and a cornice on consoles. The composition of the façade wall is asymmetric: its right side is emphasized by a protruded wall section with a large arch of a tunnel passage leading to the back courtyard, as well as by wider balconies and an attic superstructure topped with a tented roof and massive spiers. The ground and second floors windows have rounded tops; there are rectangular window openings on the upper floors. Large lucarnes above the cornice are flanked by moulded vases. A decorative balustrade is installed on the roof’s crest.

Among the decorations, mascarons over the windows can be distinguished, whose plasticity resembles the style proper to the sculpture studio of Zygmunt Kurczyński, as well as forged parts, including the railing of the balconies and stairs and remains of the entry gate decoration (a monogram "JG", "Jakób Grüner", has been preserved there). As regards its stylistic nature, the building can be attributed to the Neo-Classicist current of the architecture of the first half of the 1910s.

The townhouse is notable for its sophisticated, original layout. The basis of the building are two end blocks, a front one and a rear one, with residential premises arranged in two rows (the front block’s ground floor is occupied by large commercial areas), and spacious staircases. Between these blocks, there are lateral sections with one-tract room arrangement separated by a narrow strip of the courtyard (later it was built up almost completely to expand the cinema). The left (west) section’s ground floor is occupied by a long passage, whose bridging leans on monumental arch walls, where entrances to the staircases and to the premises of the former cinema (now "Voskresinnia" theater) are located.

An additional north block, whose ground floor is occupied by the theater hall, is attached at an angle in the depth of the plot to the building’s main part which has the shape of an elongated rectangle in plan.
