Listopadovy Chin Street is one of the oldest roads leading to the city; it has been known by its current name since the end of the 17th century as Svyentourska Droha, as it led to St. George's Church. A hundred years later, when Lviv came under the jurisdiction of the Austrian Empire, the street was renamed Tsisarskaya, and in the early 19th century, St. George. During the period of municipal self-government, when the urban space was being reorganized, in 1871 the old road was named Mickiewicz Street in honor of the outstanding Polish poet. During the German occupation, the street was renamed Parkstrasse, as it runs along the I. Franko Park. From July 1944 to 1993, it was named after Adam Mickiewicz, and its last name was Listopadovyi Chyn Street.

The image shows a somewhat archaic view of the street, without the buildings familiar to modern Lviv residents. The Noble (National, Aristocratic) Casino (1898, architects G. Helmer, F. Felner) has already been built, but there are no buildings of the Joint-Stock Union Bank on the corner of Smolka Square (1911, architect A. Zakharievich), the Austro-Hungarian Bank at 8 Mickiewicz Street (1912, architect M. Luzhetsky), or the Railway Directorate at the corner of Mickiewicz Street and Smolka Square (1912, architect M. Luzhetsky). A. Zacharevich), the Austro-Hungarian Bank at 8 Mitskevych Street (1912, architect M. Luzhetsky), and the Railway Directorate at the corner of Zygmuntowska Street (now Gogol Street, 1911, architect Z. Brochwicz Levinsky) are not yet visible.
