History

The building at 3 Klionovycha Street was constructed according to a common project for four buildings by the architects Jakub Sołomon Kroch and Maurycy Silberstein and located on parcel number 504, 505 and 506 4/4 under conscription numbers 726 4/4 (5 Kokhanovskoho Street, presently Levytskoho Street), 727 4/4 (7 Kokhanovskoho), 728 4/4 (3 Klionovycha) and 725 4/4 (4 Milkovskoho Street, presently Hulaka-Artemovskoho Street). The project was approved by the magistrate on 10 September 1893. The above-mentioned buildings belonged to the architects J. Kroch and M. Silberstein at the turn of the nineteenth century.

On 14 June 1913 Teresa Bernfeld, the owner of the building on 3 Klionovycha Street, asked the magistrate to pass a resolution regarding a wall in her building getting wet because of a damaged water pipe in the lavatories of a neighboring building owned by Tomasz Zieliński and located on 7 Kokhanovskoho Street. On 16 June 1913 the magistrate transferred this appeal to the government building agency.
