History
The house was built in 1887-1888 for wood dealer Hugo Hecht and designed by architect Joseph Święcicki. At the time, the address was "Danzigerstrasse 126". It opens up a string of six close stylish buildings ordered by Hugo Hecht and built by Joseph Święcicki, all located on the same side of Gdanska street, and produced annually in 1880s and 1890s.
Immediately after the construction, the house was sold to the superintendent Ludwig Hollweg who installed a wrought iron gate.
Shortly after, the building has been bought by Otto Pfefferkorn, manager of a large furniture factory in Bydgoszcz, now "Bydgoskie Fabryki Mebli S.A.". The same person had another building built at Jagiellonska Street N°2 in 1912.
Architecture
The house boasts an eclectic facade reminiscing French Renaissance style. Putti and sirens stucco reliefs are nicely mounted on decorative plaster and brick and facade.
