The George Sikorski Tenement is a house located at 31 Gdańska Street, between Pomorska and Śniadeckich streets in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
History
The house was built in 1902–1903 for the barber George Sikorski; at this time its address was 20 Danzigerstrasse, Bromberg.
It was designed by the architect Fritz Weidner, a German builder who came to Bydgoszcz at the end of the 19th century. He conducted building activity in the city between 1896 and 1914. From 1912, he lived in the house he built for himself at 34 Gdańska street
In the same area, Fritz Weidner built houses at the following addresses: the Mix Ernst tenement and movie theatre at 10 Gdańska Street(1905), the Thomas Frankowski Tenement at 28 Gdańska Street (1897), the Max Rosental Tenement at 42 Gdańska Street (1905), the Ernst Bartsch tenement at 79 Gdańska Street (1898) and the House at 3 Freedom Square 3 (1903).
During the interwar period, the ground floor housed Edward Kozlowski's jewelry store. At the end of the 1930s, the family Kałamajski moved from building at 27 Gdansk st. to install a dyeing shop, Tint.
Architecture
The building represents the style of picturesque architecture, typical of Fritz Weidner projects. Originally, the south peak building had an adorned façade.
