The
four-storied building at the corner of Valova, Pidvalna, and Brativ Rohatyntsiv
streets was built in 1910–1912 under a project designed by architect Karel
Boublík. It was a residential building owned by merchant Maurycy Sprecher and
Dr Max Sprecher. Formally, it consists of two parts having different addresses
(Pidvalna street 3 and Valova street 31), but visually it is perceived as a
single two-part house. It is an architectural monument of local importance
(protection number 216). In its décor, Historicist motifs are used combining
elements of the Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic and Secession styles. In the
interwar period the house on Pidvalna street 3 was owned by the Jewish
publishing union "Chwila". Now both parts of the building are occupied by
offices.
