Built
in 1900 for Markus Gradstein and his wife Augusta. Markus Gradstein
was a significant banker in Częstochowa, founder of Częstochowa
Mutual Credit Society for Industry and Commerce. The Society has
funded the purchase of land for the construction of the world famous
cotton mill Motte in Częstochowa (later Elanex).
High as for the
buildings in the Avenues - a three-story, neo-baroque building
quickly draws attention to its six Ionic half-columns placed at the
height of the second and third floor. Rectangular windows, circular
arches are topped with bas-reliefs and with panels under the windows.
The balconies with wrought iron railings and amphora supporting
columns are also monumental. Inside the building there are
4-meter-high rooms with exquisite stucco, oak floors and high tiled
stoves.
