Alfred Schleusener tenement is a tenement located at Gdanska Street N°62 in Bydgoszcz.
Location
The building stands on the eastern side of Gdańska street, between Słowacki stret and Adam Mickiewicz Alley. It is adjacent to:
- Carl Meyer tenement at N°60,
- Eduard Schulz Tenement at N°66-68,
both historical buildings in Bydgoszcz.
History
The edifice has been designed and built by Alfred Schleusener as a house for his own use.
This type of realization (an architect building his own house) is pretty common in Gdańska Street , since other builders did the same at this time:
- Carl Meyer, at N°60;
- Carl Rose, at N°51;
- Fritz Weidner, at N°34;
- Józef Święcicki, at N°63.
The building has a distinctive urban character and was erected in 1910-1911. It had a residential wing distinct from the business and trade premises.[1]
In the same area of Bydgoszcz, Alfred Schleusener has also realized :
- Tenement Carl Meinhardt at Gdanska street 27, in 1909;
- Robert Grundtmann Tenement at Słowacki street 1, in 1906.
Features
The building is made in the style of early, classic modernism.[2] The vertical elevation were highlighted as structural elements of the building by using strings loggias, balconies and bay windows.
Vertical divisions are highlighted using pilaster and friezes between windows.
