The Tenement at Gdanska street 86 is a habitation building located at Gdanska Street 86, in Bydgoszcz.
Location
The building stands on the eastern side of Gdanska Street at the intersection with Zamoyski street.
It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street:
- Ernst Bartsch tenement at N°79;
- Paul Storz Tenement at N°81;
- Villa Carl Grosse at N°84;
- Otto Riedl Tenement at N° 85;

History
The house was built in 1887-1888 for wood dealer Hugo Hecht and designed by architect Joseph Święcicki. At the time, the address was "Danzigerstrasse 126".[1] It opens up a string of six close stylish buildings ordered by Hugo Hecht and built by Joseph Święcicki, all located on the same side of Gdanska street, and produced annually in 1880s and 1890s.
Immediately after the construction, the house was sold to the superintendent Ludwig Hollweg[2] who installed a wrought iron gate.
Shortly after, the building has been bought by Otto Pfefferkorn, manager of a large furniture factory in Bydgoszcz, now "Bydgoskie Fabryki Mebli S.A.".[3] The same person had another building built at Jagiellonska Street N°2 in 1912.[4]
Architecture
The house boasts an eclectic facade reminiscing French Renaissance style.[5] Putti and sirens stucco reliefs are nicely mounted on decorative plaster and brick and facade.
In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices:
- Hotel "Pod Orlem" at Gdanska St. 14;
- Oskar Ewald Tenement at Gdanska St. 30;
- Józef Święcicki tenement at Gdanska St. 63;
- Tenement at Freedom Square 1.
