The tenement at 95 Gdańska street is a historical habitation building located in Gdańska Street, in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

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,[1] on a design by Bydgoszcz's architect Paul Sellner. At the time, the address was 54 Danzigerstrasse, Bromberg.[2]

In 1914, Robert Schulz set up a restaurant on the ground floor[3] that operated until 1920.

Architecture

Tenement presents an early modernist style.[4]

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.[4] Inside, the building has got a preserved elevator with a wrought metal door.

Paul Sellner, the architect, has been a student of architect Karl Bergner. In 1904, he opened his own architectural study office in Bromberg, where he stayed at least until 1922.[4] In Bydgoszcz Paul Sellner designed also another habitation house at 2 Świętojańska Street, (intersection with Gdańska Street) in 1911-1912.
