NATHAN MORGENSTERN'S TENEMENT

Nathan Morgenstern’s tenement located at Sienkiewicza 4 street was designed by architects Wacław Heppen and Józef N. Czerwiński. This seven-storey building was built in the years 1911-1912 , in the style of early modernism inspired by French style .
As a result of the devastation during the war the tenement lost its last floor (only a balcony survived in the left corner of the base of the building).
In flats located on other levels there are original moldings , hardwood floors and tiled stoves. Also staircases have their original decor - railings, doors, marble and wooden stairs. In the courtyard you can see a chapel of Our Lady. In February 2014 , the building and the property area was entered into the register of monuments.
Currently, the tenement is being renovated: the walls around the courtyard are being plastered. The facade of the building still awaits its turn.

The neighborhood of a modern glass building makes it a very attractive location for photographers. Just go to the yard, look up, and see a beautiful house dominated by modern building.
