In 1903, on Rappaport Street, on the site of a former Jewish hospital, Ivan Levinsky's architectural and construction firm built a model hospital with 100 beds, designed by architect Kazimierz Moklowski. This medical facility was owned and maintained by the Jewish community of Lviv. The hospital, which was super modern at the beginning of the 20th century, was built at the expense of the chairman of the hospital board, former director of the Mortgage Bank Maurits Lazarus; the hospital's equipment, based on the latest European models, was provided by the patron's wife.
