Story

The building is situated in the central part of the city, at the corner of Hrytska Chubaia and Mykhaila Pavlyka streets. It was erected at the beginning of the twentieth century following a design by architect Aba Kornblüt (ДАЛО 2/1/2263:41-51). The static load calculation of the structural elements was performed by the same architect (ДАЛО). Ryszard Hausner received construction permission from the magistrate on January 15, 1914, to build a four-story house on four land plots (ДАЛО). On October 27, 1914, the magistrate granted an occupancy permit (ДАЛО) and certified that the building had been completed on September 23, 1914 (ДАЛО).

In the 1930s, the house belonged to Józefa Mars (Księga adresowa, 1935–1936:16). 

Today, it is used as a residential building with apartments on the 3rd and 4th floors. The "Svit Tantsiu" shop is located on the first floor. 

A commemorative plaque on the façade facing vul. M. Pavlyka reads: "Ivan Krypiakevych — Ukrainian historian and academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine — lived in this house from 1916 to 1944".

Architecture

This residential corner tenement house is situated at the intersection. It is a four-story, brick, and plastered building.

The windows on the first floor are segmental, rounded, and elliptical. A profiled stringcourse runs between the first and second floors, while a profiled cornice is positioned between the third and fourth floors. Bay windows, supported by massive brackets, project from the façade surfaces on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. Balconies with plasterwork balustrades are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors are rectangular with profiled surrounds, while those on the 4th floor are rounded. The façades are topped by a wide crowning cornice.
