Object:<\/strong> The fa\u00e7ades cover a residential block constructed as part of Gda\u0144sk’s post-war reconstruction. In 2013, they underwent a complete renovation as part of the \u2018Gda\u0144skie Fasady OdNowa\u2019 project, aimed at improving the quality of public spaces in the Main Town by adding architectural decorations to buildings that had been overlooked during Gda\u0144sk\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n

The building at 95 Ogarna Street, once the family home of the Gda\u0144sk-born physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, now consists of two separate fa\u00e7ades. The three-bay eastern fa\u00e7ade, featuring a historic portal and commemorative plaque, was decorated with a painted design extending from the second to the fifth storey. The decoration references the face of a barometer, with its interior filled with inscriptions in Schwabacher script, including \u2018<\/em>Gda\u0144sk, Gabriel\u2019. The space between the first and second storeys bears a calligraphic signature: \u2018D.G. Fahrenheit\u2019. The top of the fa\u00e7ade is adorned with a wind rose surrounded by an inscription and flanked by the letters AT<\/em> and AK<\/em>, beneath which is a medallion featuring the calligraphed letter F<\/em>. The western fa\u00e7ade, due to its structural completeness, has only been embellished with the physicist\u2019s initials on the bases of the pilasters.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> The buildings are in an area designated as a heritage site. They form part of the historic urban layout of the city of Gda\u0144sk. Ogarna Street was destroyed in 1945 during the war. It was rebuilt on the basis of the so-called Zachwatowicz plan that envisaged the reconstruction of historical forms, which was only feasible in the form of a workers\u2019 housing estate. The erected block of flats was covered by a historicist fa\u00e7ade screen. The buildings thus created were the result of combining two houses into a complex with a common staircase, an entrance from the courtyard and an even top line of windows emphasising the block-like nature of the premise. The elevations were not completed with architectural decoration.<\/p>\n
