The tenement at 86 Gdanska street is a historical habitation building located at 86 Gdanska Street, in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Location

The building stands on the eastern side of Gdańska Street at the intersection with Zamoyskiego street.

It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street:

Ernst Bartsch tenement at N°79;
Paul Storz Tenement at N°81;
Villa Carl Grosse at N°84;
Otto Riedl Tenement at N° 85;
Tenement at 91 Gdanska street.

History

The house was built in 1887-1888 for wood dealer Hugo Hecht and designed by architect Joseph Święcicki. At the time, the address was 126 Danzigerstrasse.^[2]

It opens up a string of six close stylish buildings ordered by Hugo Hecht and built by Joseph Święcicki, all located on the same side of Gdańska street, and produced annually in the 1880s and 1890s.

Immediately after the construction, the house was sold to the superintendent Ludwig Hollweg^[2] who installed a wrought iron gate.

Shortly after, the building was bought by Otto Pfefferkorn, manager of a large furniture factory in Bydgoszcz, still active today under the name Bydgoskie Fabryki Mebli S.A..^[3] Otto Pfefferkorn had another building built at Jagiellonska Street N°2 in 1912.^[4]

From April 1, 1939 till 1945, Kazimierz Orlicz, a Bydgoszcz architect, ran his own design office in this tenement.^[5]

Architecture

The house boasts an eclectic facade reminiscing French Renaissance style.^[6] Putti and sirens stucco reliefs are nicely mounted on decorative plaster and brick and facade.

In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices:

Hotel "Pod Orlem" at 14 Gdańska Street;
Oskar Ewald Tenement at 30 Gdańska Street;
Józef Święcicki tenement at 63 Gdańska Street;
Tenement at 1 Plac Wolności.
