A three-storey tenement at Piotrkowska 99 from 1897, where Szymon Goldblum ran an ironware warehouse; it stands on the site of one of the street's first brick houses, built in 1849.
The tenement at Piotrkowska 99 is one of the first brick buildings on the west side of this stretch of the street. The present three-storey structure was erected at the end of the 19th century by merchant Szymon Goldblum, who ran an iron goods warehouse there.
In 1834, weaver Gottfryd Stybner took over the plot at present-day number 99. Successive owners were Leopold Hermann from 1842 and Krystian Fryderyk Neumann from 1844. It was under Neumann that in 1849 a brick building was erected on the front of the plot, the first on the west side of Piotrkowska between present-day Struga and Zamenhofa streets.
After Neumann's death in 1862, the property passed in turn to Karol Ebhardt, who purchased it at auction in 1869, and to Robert Dems in the early 1870s. In 1884, the manufacturing firm Dems-Hirsekorn was declared bankrupt, and its partners, Robert Dems and Leonard Hirsekorn, came under police supervision. From at least the late 1880s onwards, the property belonged to the Goldblum family.
The three-storey tenement visible today from the street was erected by Szymon Goldblum according to a design from 1897. The architect responsible for the design was Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger. Szymon Goldblum and his successors operated an iron goods warehouse in the building. Press advertisements for the firm gave 1854 as the year of its founding.
The building stands on the west side of the street, opposite the Dom Buta and Kamienica Siemensa. In the same area it is also worth seeing the Kamienica Fiszela Wajkselficza and Kamienica Alojzego Balle, which stand on the opposite side of the pedestrian mall.
