The Hotel “d’Angleterre” – “The English” – began operating in 1840 in a building on the corner of Pojezuitska (V. Hnatyuka) and Nyzhni Valiv (Svobody Avenue). The popular hotel was conveniently located: close to the market (Rynok Square), the post office (Gausner’s House on the corner of Kopernyka Street) and the theater (Skarbkiv Theater). The three-story hotel had 100 furnished rooms, which yielded a good profit; in addition, the pavilion of Józef Eder’s photo studio was located in the hotel courtyard (from 1861 to 1888, when the hotel building was demolished to build the Galician Savings Bank (1891)).
