The Hugo Hecht tenement is a habitation building located at Gdanska Street 92-94, in Bydgoszcz.
Location
The building stands on the eastern side of Gdańska Street between Zamoyski street and Chodkiewicz street.
It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street:
- Villa Carl Grosse at N°84;
- Otto Riedl Tenement at N° 85;
- Villa Hugo Hecht at N°88-90;
- Tenement at Gdanska street 91.
History
The two houses have been built in the years 1889-1890 (N°92) and 1891-1892 (N° 94). They were part of a project of six close stylish buildings ordered by the merchant and dealer in timber Hugo Felix Franz Hecht.[2] He assigned Bydgoszcz architect Józef Święcicki to realize his scheme.
In 1903 a residential northern wing has been added to N°92, designed by George Weiss. Five years later, N°94 building has been enriched with a vertical glazed steel-framed veranda, also designed by George Weiss. At this time, Mr Berger, the chief of the Police was living at this address[3] ("Danzigerstrasse 123-124").
In 1922-1933, N°92 owner was Jan Maciaszek, the first interwar Mayor of Bydgoszcz, who took the power from the German hands in 1920.
Marshal Józef Piłsudski has been accommodated in this house in June 1921 during his stay in Bydgoszcz. In memory, a plaque realized by a local sculptor, Theodore Gajewski, has been put on the facade.
Features
Both buildings, in their motives, are an example of style connected to Neo-Renaissance and Mannerism from various influences, predominantly French one.[4]
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 Gdanska street 86;
- Tenement at Freedom Square 1.
The building has been put on the Pomeranian heritage list (N°A/269/1) on 21 August 1991[5]
