32 Narutowicza Street in Łódź, Historic tenement house in Katedralna district, Łódź, Poland.

The Auerbach Tenement at 32 Narutowicza Street is an eclectic building designed by Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger, combining Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Romanesque forms. Its yellow brick facade, partly covered in grey render, has two avant-corps: the right one with deep loggias, the left with balconies. Neo-Romanesque details include bats with human faces, rosettes, colonnettes, biforia and triforia, and Cyrillic inscriptions on the avant-corps.

The structure was built in 1896 under architect Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger's direction, replacing a single-story wooden house that held storage units. This transformation marked the area's shift toward denser, more commercial development.

Before World War II the building housed the singing society "Szir" and, in its courtyard, the Teitelbaum brothers' wool factory. After the war it held a Jewish press printing house and the editorial office of the newspaper "Dos Naje Lebn", as well as the Union of Jewish Writers and Journalists.

The building stands on the south side of Narutowicza Street at number 32, in the Katedralna district, and is entered through a gateway leading to a courtyard flanked by two side wings. It is a working residential block, so visitors view the facade and the courtyard from the street and the public passage. The Cyrillic shop inscriptions on the avant-corps are best read from the pavement opposite.

Look up at the pilasters: the Neo-Romanesque carving includes bats with human faces and other fantastic figures, alongside rosettes, small columns with carved capitals, biforia and triforia. Cyrillic inscriptions also survive on the avant-corps, probably shop advertisements from before World War I.
