Kozminska Tenement House, budynek w Warszawie
The Kozminska Tenement House is a brick building with eclectic architecture in Warsaw's Wola district. It features decorative balconies, window frames, and ornamental details in early 20th-century style, currently housing 57 residential units and 10 shops.
The building was completed around 1912 under the design of architect Józef Napoleon Czerwiński. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, it suffered combat damage but survived, and bullet marks remain visible today as reminders of that period.
The building carries the name of Anna Koźmińska, a notable figure from its era. Today it serves as a mixed-use space with residential units and a long-standing bakery that locals and visitors continue to patronize.
The building is located at Żelazna Street 64 in the Wola area and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can admire the exterior facade and restored architectural details from the street, and the ground-floor shops are open to the public.
The building briefly housed a cinema called Świt, later renamed Acron. Beyond this, it was part of the Warsaw Ghetto, and its history reflects the city's most dramatic turning points.
