The four-storied row townhouse was built in 1912-1913
under a project designed by Stanisław Olszewski, a licensed builder.
It was a residential
townhouse owned by Włodzimierz Sieradzki, a physician and a professor of the
Jan Kazimierz University. The early modernist building was constructed with the
use of reinforced concrete and was equipped with water supply, sewerage,
electricity, ventilation, and central heating. Its design combines late
Secession and Neo-Classicism motifs. It is an architectural monument
(protection number 124). Today the building is residential.
This
house was commissioned by
Albertyna Lączyńska and built by Zygmunt Kędzierski on the site of a previous house in 1898-1899. It is one of the earliest examples of Historicism
influenced by the aesthetics of Secession, erected with the use of reinforced concrete structures. The
building is an architectural
monument with the protection number 1650-M.
The Franz (Francis) I University of Lviv
was reorganized as the Jan Kazimierz University in 1918, after the
Polish-Ukrainian war and the battles for Lviv. During the period, the
University was one of the largest and most significant scientific and cultural
centers of interwar Poland. It was renamed after the beginning of the
Soviet occupation in 1939 into Ivan
Franko State University.
