History
In the XIX century, a wooden building was destroyed on the site, destroyed by the Minsk fire of 1881. After that, the land plot was bought by the tradesman Girsh Itskovich Machiz, who built a new two-story stone house with an attic on the site. As of 1910, the house belonged to Haya Machiz, on the ground floor there was a sausage shop and hat shop, on the second floor there was a sewing workshop, the rest of the space was given for residential apartments. After nationalization in 1920, trading enterprises remained on the first floor, the second floor was given over to communal apartments. During World War II, the house was not damaged. At the end of the 20th century, the house housed a jewelry store and a Swiss watch store, the facade was decorated with imitation fachwerk. After the 2008 restoration, the house was returned to its original design. In the course of the work, the wall paintings of one of the rooms on the second floor were identified and preserved [1] [2] .
