History

The house was built in 1892-1893, designed by Bydoszcz's architect Józef Święcicki for Carl Peschel, a rentier. At the time, the address was 57 Danziger Straße, Bromberg.[2]

Features

The red brick wall contrasts with the rich, neo-baroque details, the rococo stuccoes -distant reminiscence of northern Mannerism.[4] On the symmetry axis of this two-winged building is placed a gate door with wrought iron decorative elements.

In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices, among which:
