Nowomiejska Street - old residences from the year 1820

This photograph from 1912 shows the oldest buildings on Nowomiejska Street. Raised around the year 1820, these homes were intended for wool weavers settling in the vicinity of the New Town (Nowe Miasto). After World War I, these buildings were supplanted by tall apartment buildings, made of brick or stone, with retail courts—at this time Nowomiejska became the most commercially-oriented street in interwar Łódź.
