Dom przy ulicy Jałowego 33, Heritage house at Jałowego Street, Rzeszów, Poland
The house at 33 ks. Jałowego Street is a two-storey brick building erected in 1896 to a design by Franciszek Stążkiewicz. It has a nearly square plan with a front-elevation avant-corps and a side porch, a cornice dividing the floors, and two intersecting half-hipped roofs with strongly overhanging eaves. The ground-floor windows are rectangular with segmental arches, while the upper and attic windows have profiled surrounds.
The house was built in 1896 for Bielecki, a gymnasium teacher, to a design by Franciszek Stążkiewicz. It later belonged to the Piwecki family and in 1930 was owned by the Grzegorczyk family. At that time the wooden porch with Art Nouveau decoration was removed and replaced with a masonry one; around 1960 a terrace was added to the rear elevation.
Inside, the house keeps its panelled woodwork and its Art Nouveau and eclectic tile stoves, fitted when the building was new. The two-flight staircase with a landing between floors has a handrail of wrought iron. These fittings belong to the 1896 house built for the Bielecki family's teacher, not to later alterations.
The building includes modern utilities such as water, sewage, gas, and electrical systems distributed throughout the three-bay layout. The interior circulation features a two-flight staircase with an iron handrail located near the main entry.
The wooden porch with Art Nouveau decoration was removed around 1930, when the house belonged to the Grzegorczyk family, and rebuilt in masonry. Around 1960 a terrace was added to the rear elevation. The interior keeps its two-flight staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade and its Art Nouveau and eclectic tile stoves.
