Residential Historicist building with neobaroque facade elements, constructed in 1895. The project, which included two three-story buildings (4 Klionovycha Street and 9 Levytskoho Street) on the parcel belonging to Teofila Nikolicz, was designed by the architects Jakub Sołomon Kroch and Maurycy Silberstein. The project was approved by the magistrate in 1894. Beginning on July 1911 the building’s owner, Michal Teppa, leased it to the Command of the Third Brigade of the Cavalry of the State Ministry of Defense (3 Brygady Kawalerii Ministerstwa Obrony Krajowej). In 1911 the architect Wlodzimierz Podhorodecki carried the building’s reconstruction. In the  1910s Aleksander Antoni Wolski, writer and editor of periodicals "Dziennik polski" and "Skorowidz adresowy" resided here. In the 1930’s the building belonged to Klara and Rachmann Reiss. Presently it is used for residential purposes (2009).

The architecturally dominant feature of the façade is a balcony on molded corbels shaped as grand volutes with a molded baluster fence; it is located on the level of the second floor and protrudes for the whole width of the buttressed section. A semi circular balcony on a similar cup-shaped corbel projects out on the level of the third floor. The building’s windows have profiled framings. They are adorned with keystones on the level of the first floor; on the level of the second floor they are decorated with triangular window cornices with molded insertions under them and women’s heads in the center; on the third floor the windows have Neo-Baroque shells in place of keystones. While the windows of the first and second floors are rectangular, the windows of the third floor have segmented tops.
