In the past sweat, toil and blood, now the center of recreation and entertainment. What a change !!!
The construction of Poznanski's industrial empire began in 1872.
The most splendid building is the spinning mill situated along Ogrodowa Street, built between 1876 and 1878. In this photo you can see it from the other party.
Apart from industrial buildings, the complex contains: the Poznanski family residence, a factory office, homes of workers, as well as a school and hospital. Yeah, it really was an empire, and such self-contained complexes of Lodz, there were several. Each belonged to another family.
After World War II have been nationalized and was national factories. In the nineties, all started to fall, and really not much of it remained.
This former industrial complex has been revitalised in 2005 and now houses the 'Manufaktura', commercial, entertainment and cultural centre.
In the past sweat, toil and blood, now the center of recreation and entertainment. What a change !!!
You know, I published and I'll publish a lot of photos of this place, but now it's a really cool place for relax in the city ;-))

The House of the Shoe
On the junction of Tuwim Street (looking straight) and Piotrkowska Street (across). This building is called The House of the Shoe (Dom Buta), build in 1892. Nowadays for many years it is empty, I don't know why.
public transport, cars or bike, what do you prefer?
intersection of Zachodnia and Ogrodowa Streets, Lodz
