Vul. Lysenka, 5 – residential building ID: 1534

Former address: ul. Kurkowa 5 (conscription no. 571 4/4). The building was constructed on land purchased by architects Johann Salzmann and Florian Onderka, who erected several houses on the property in the 1840s. In 1929, the tenement house accommodated the editorial office of the magazine Kurjer Filatelistyczny, a tailoring workshop owned by I. Stocknopf, and a shoemaking workshop owned by A. Krzysztofowicz. Today, the building houses the "Prudkyi Myach" specialized children and youth sports school of the Olympic reserve and a pharmacy that has been operating here since the nineteenth century. The building was also home to Karel Boublík (1868–1925), a prominent Lviv architect of Czech origin. Numerous historicist and Secession-style buildings throughout Lviv were constructed according to his designs.

The walls of the principal elevation are finished with banded rustication. A balcony with metal railings is positioned above a wide carriage entrance. The façade windows are topped with rectangular pediments (window hoods).
