Location

The building stands on the western side of Gdańska Street, between Chocimska street and Świętojańska street.

It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street:


History

The house was built in 1912-1913, on a design by Bydgoszcz's architect Paul Sellner. At the time, the address was "Danzigerstrasse 54, Bromberg.[1]

In 1914, Robert Schulz set up a restaurant on the ground floor[2] until 1920.


Architecture

Tenement presents an early modernist style.[3]

The three-storey avant-corps are decorated with laurel wreaths and stylized vases and flowers low-reliefs. A dissymetry is created by balconies on the right side and logias on the opposite side.[3] Inside, the building has got a preserved elevator with a wrought metal door.

Paul Sellner, the architect, has been a student of Karl Bergner. In 1904, he opened his own architectural study office in Bydgoszcz, where he stayed at least until 1922.[3] In Bydgoszcz Paul Sellner designed also another habitation house at Świętojańska Street 2, (intersection with Gdanska Street) in 1911-1912.
