One of the two historicist fa\u00e7ades covering a block of flats built as part of the post-war reconstruction of Gda\u0144sk. In 2018, the fa\u00e7ade underwent a major refurbishment under the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, which aimed to improve the quality of public spaces in G\u0142\u00f3wne Miasto by adding architectural decoration to existing buildings that were omitted during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n

The biaxial west fa\u00e7ade received metalwork decoration in the form of an architectural detail cast in aluminium, located at the top of the fa\u00e7ade, and a cartouche intended to accommodate a signboard in the space between the first and second floors. The form of both elements alludes to nautical knots.<\/p>\n

The biaxial eastern fa\u00e7ade with a passage linking S\u0142omiana Street and \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska Street received an architectural detail emphasising the arc of the passage in the form of an ornament consisting of multiplied floral forms, the elements of which evoke the setting of stones in jewellery. The structure of the jewel is made up of aluminium elements together with ceramic glazed ones.<\/p>\n

Place:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building is located in an area designated as a heritage site, in the vicinity of St Nicholas\u2019s and St John\u2019s churches. As a result of the wartime destruction in 1945, the urban layout was changed. During the reconstruction of Gda\u0144sk, part of the original development of \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska Street was not reconstructed, Ksi\u0119\u017ca Street was removed, and the resulting quarter was adapted into a square. According to address directories from the mid-19th<\/sup> century, the building at 67 \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska Street was the prayer house of the Jewish community.<\/p>\n
