  • Vul. Kalicha Hora, 5 – an abandoned building

    This three-storied house on what is now vul. Kalicha Hora was built in several stages in the mid-19th century. It was owned by Sylwester Berski, a Lviv builder, who designed it on his own. Immediately after the construction of the house it was rented by the Imperial-Royal Provintial School Board for a men's teachers' seminary. In 1913-1939 the house belonged to the Ossoliński Institute in Lviv; a binding shop and the Institute's expedition department were located there. In 1913, it was planned to build nearby a printing house for publishing textbooks under a project designed by architect Zbigniew Brochwicz Lewiński. In Soviet times, the military registration and enlistment office of the Halytskyi (then Leninskiy) district of the city was located there. Since the 2010s the house has not been used and currently is in a neglected condition.
