Description

The newest appearance of the ancient Sixtus or Sixtus Road, known since 1535, is now Doroshenka Street. As a city street, it was formed around the middle of the 19th century, with residential buildings forming a continuous line of one- to three-story houses. At the corner of Sixtuska and Karl-Ludwig Street, 9 (now Svobody Avenue), there is a shop belonging to court optician and mechanic Józef Neuhauser, whose entrance and windows are framed with lettered advertisements and imperial eagles. At the end of the 19th century, the city authorities banned the use of state symbols in advertising. Neughofer's Lviv shop was a branch of the central Viennese shop; here you could buy and order glasses; theater, field, and military binoculars; magnifying glasses and microscopes; thermometers and barometers; engineering and medical instruments.

On the right, at 2-4 Sikstuska Street, you can see the shop windows and wooden portals of the entrance to the antique bookstore of Leib Igel, one of the most famous Lviv antique dealers of the time. In the right corner, you can see a fragment of the shop windows of the famous Leopold Rotlander candy store.
