They not only played a moral and political role. They were a permanent place of residence. However, in the nineteenth century, “house in the city” was one more sphere - family. It was a place of existence and meetings, an expression of the wealth of its inhabitants. Such an example of a model house was undoubtedly a good bourgeois private life. He appeared in numerous variants, differing in innumerable details. We can talk about the relative unity of fashion of bourgeois life in the nineteenth century and ways of living reinforced by architectural styles. The subject of my deliberations will be a socially complex, very diverse environment of a tenement house that created a separate world. However, based on numerous memories, on press journalism, one can try to recreate the distribution, social structure and everyday life of the inhabitants. The issue of the residential architecture of 19th century cities has been widely studied, but so far few works have been created connecting the architectural aspect with social and moral aspects.}, doi = {10.4467/25438700SM.19.005.10793}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/srodowisko-mieszkaniowe/article/a-cracow-tenement-house-as-an-example-of-a-house-in-the-city-functioning-and-life-of-cracow-tenements-at-the-turn-of-the-19th-and-20th-centuries} }
