Is the building still inhabited / a shop?

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 1 points 1 month ago

@partner_boat_slug no, not at all. I don't think it was even the shop itself back then, probably just the equivalent of a nowadays billboard.

I cannot remember since I've been through there last time, but I remember it was inhabited. Or at least I hope so. If not, it is one of the many historical buildings left to rot by some real estate developer, so that it falls down by itself and raise some "beautiful" modern posh luxury apartment complex (I really do hope that's not the case, it would be such a loss, and the area isn't designated as historical either afaik).
