Description

View of the beginning of Jagiellonska Street (V. Hnatyuka) before the demolition of the “Anglijskiy” Hotel and the construction of the Galician Savings Bank. On the left side is the building of the Credit Bank. The “d’Angleterre” Hotel – “Anglijskiy” – began operating in 1840 in a building on the corner of Pojezuitska Street (V. Hnatyuka) and Nyzhni Valiv Street (Svobody Avenue). The popular hotel was conveniently located: close to the market (Rynok Square), the post office (Gausner’s House on the corner of Kopernika Street) and the theater (Skarbkivsky 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).
