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

The house was built in 1895-1896, on a design by architect Joseph Święcicki for a master stonecutter Carl Bradtke. Carl Bradtke worked also with Fritz Weidner for the erection of a nearby building at Nr.91.
The house, from the beginning, had been thought as a rental building as well as a trading one with two wings merging at the rear. The initials of the first owner ("CB") appear in a cartouche of an upper pediment.
The initial address of the house was 53 Danzigerstrasse.[2]
At the beginning of the 20th century, the tenement housed a bicycles dealer, company Patria, run by Erich Krahn, .[3]
In the 1920s a patisserie (Polish: Piekarnia) owned by Emil Kobielski had been operating in the building.[4]
The building has a richly decorated facade with two small side gables, in which stands a gargoyle on a background of ostrich feathers. The architect created a functional complex of buildings centered around a rectangular courtyard enclosed at the back. A hallway allows to get the residential house located at the back of the garden.
The front building follows the Historicism style with references to Neo-Baroque and Rococo.[5] In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices:
The building has been put on the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Heritage List Nr.601318 Reg.A/1126/1-4, on June 5, 1993.[6]
