10 Jasna Street in Warsaw, Heritage building in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland.
10 Jasna Street is a six-storey tenement house whose symmetrical front is dressed with stone detailing and tall windows across each floor. The building is entered from Jasna Street and rises above a lower ground level; its interiors are now fitted out as office space. It stands in Warsaw's Śródmieście district and is listed as an immovable monument.
The tenement house at Jasna 10 was built in 1903, in the years when Warsaw's central streets were being rebuilt with multi-storey rental buildings. It is listed in the municipal register of monuments as "Kamienica wraz z terenem posesji" — the building together with its plot. The entry was made on 3 October 2007.
The building's name, "Kamienica wraz z terenem posesji", records that the heritage listing covers the tenement together with its plot, not the facade alone. The address at Jasna 10 places it in the Śródmieście grid laid out in the 19th century, where street-front tenements stood on narrow parcels behind a formal front wing.
The building is accessible to visitors of the Community Centre, with facilities designed to be barrier-free. Its central location in Śródmieście makes it easy to reach by public transportation.
The building stands on a plot entered in the heritage register as "Kamienica wraz z terenem posesji" — the tenement together with its entire lot, not just the facade. That means the courtyard and the plot boundaries are covered by the monument designation of 3 October 2007, a detail easy to miss when looking only at the street front.
