History

The house was built in 1906-1908, designed by the architect Rudolf Kern, who also erected or redesigned other buildings in Gdanska Street:[1]

After the construction, a surgeon, Dr Dettmer[2] had his clinic in the back and his private house. At Bromberg's time, the address was "DanzigerStrasse 42".

In 1924, the Office of the City bought the building and organized here the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Municipal Hospital,[3] was surrounded by a garden.

In 1934, the Headquarters of the Polish Army Corps District N° VIII[4] was located there.

The tenement has been the seat, since 1938-1939, of the Municipal Conservatoire, and between 1945 and 1958 it housed the school headquarters.[5]

Currently, the building in the backyard (where stood the clinic) is owned by the Music Schools of Bydgoszcz. A concert hall John Paul II concert hall) is located here.[6]
