Mírová 24 Tenement house

Pavlačová U-house on the street Mírová no. 97 / 24 in Vítkovice is a historical monument, which represents a rental house built during the period of history in 1882-1884. This building is located in the town monument zone Vítkovic and is part of the development of the so-called Nové Vítkovic, designed to provide better housing conditions for the workers of the ironworks. The house is significant not only by its architecture and historical context, but also by being included in the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic in 1988.

The creation of a steeple U-dome is closely linked to the development of an industrial period in Central Europe, where rapid urbanisation and the need for new housing solutions for the working class took place. In the Czech Republic this trend was reflected in the development of industrial cities such as Ostrava. Paul Kupelwieser, who took up the post of Director General of Vítkovice Iron Works in 1876, played a key role in the construction of Nové Vítkovice. The aim was to ensure better housing conditions for employees and their families, which led to the construction of several parlour houses in a historic style.

The architectural building is a single storey building with a wall made of red brick wall with a halved roof covered with sheet metal. The layout of the house is the shape of the letter "U," which is a typical feature of the wig guns. The facade of the building is divided by two-axis central risalite into two four-axis parts and are decorated with moldings with profiled edges. Windows and doors have a semicircular envelope, which adds elegant details to the overall appearance. Rizalite is decorated in a shield with a railing, which gives the house a distinctive historical form.

The house was built according to the original regulatory plan and served as a polyfunctional building. In one of the houses there was a library with a reading room, which shows an effort to provide employees and their families with the possibility of cultured residence and education. The apartments were designed for workers and officials, which reflects the social structure of the time. There were one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the house, which had a common entrance, a hallway and a toilet.

Today, the Pavlačová U- house on the street Mírová no. 97 / 24 is an important cultural monument, which shows the historical development of industrial cities and housing policy during the period of industrialization. Its architecture and history represent an interesting example of how the working class's life evolved in industrial change. For visitors, the house is not only a monument to viewing, but also a reminder of an important period of Czech history.

The landmark on Mírová Street No. 97 / 24 in Vítkovice is therefore not only an architectural treasure, but also a witness to the social and economic changes that shaped modern Europe. Her visit offers an opportunity to explore the rich history of the industrial period and to understand the importance of residential solutions for the working class.
