Title
Before the First World War, as a continuation of Yatkova Street ( Myasnaya Street , Obzhorny Lane ; now Mesinyu Street ) was called the same, between the two world wars it was called Julian Klachko Street ( ul. Juljana Klaczki ), in honor of the writer and publicist, who was born in a house that has not been preserved on the corner of this street and German Street (now Vokechi). Before the war, in 1939, it was named after Antokolsky ( Antokolskio ); after the Second World War until 1989, it was called Sticklyu ( Glass ), as well as its continuation (now Gaono Street), and Sticklyu Street was called Antokolsky Street [1] [2] .
History and Characteristics
The street is located in the old Jewish quarter. Previously, the street overlooked German Street and continued through Myasnaya Street (Messina). During World War II, the street was part of the Small Ghetto .
After the war, the street became a dead end. The courtyard into which the street goes is built on the site of a wasteland formed after the demolition of the remains of the destroyed Jewish quarter adjacent to the Great Synagogue. At the same time, several houses that can be seen in the watercolors of Mstislav Dobuzhinsky ( 1906 , State Tretyakov Gallery ) disappeared. Now on the street are residential, on the right western side - with a gift shop and restaurants in the lower floors.
On the left side, in a two-story corner house of mature Baroque , a souvenir shop was traditionally located, now there is an architectural and design salon ( M. Antokolskio g. 2 / Stiklių g. 10 ). Number 4 is a low warehouse building, built after the war, facing the street with a blank wall. Apartment building number 6 is in the yard. Number 8 is a few unremarkable apartment buildings built in the second half of the 19th century - the second half of the 20th century .
The first corner building on the right-west side is listed on Stikliu Street ( Stiklių 12 ); on the ground floor of this three-story apartment building is a silverware salon. On Antokolskö Street itself, there are only two numbers - 11 and 13. The lower floor of the first of them is occupied by the restaurant Markus ir Ko ( M. Antokolskio g. 11 ). At this point, a transverse arch hangs above the street - a remarkable detail of the street, depicted in Dobuzhinsky's watercolors and a drawing by the sanguine Myachislovas Bulaki ( 1945 , Vilnius Picture Gallery ). Next door was the Aukštayčiai beer bar, and now - the Rene beer restaurant ( René ; M. Antokolskio g. 13 ); named after the artist Rene Magritte , reproductions of whose works are hanging in a restaurant [3] . The last house with the same number 13 on the right side is a three-story corner house, built in 1959 .
