Dom Handlowy Feniks
Dom Handlowy Feniks (Phoenix Department Store) is located between the eastern side of the market square and the Szewska Street. When it opened in 1904, Feniks was the largest department store in Wroclaw and the grandest. In 1929, the original art nouveau facade facing the market square was given a simpler, modernist look. The huge glazing above the main entrance was replaced with more conventional window rows. The large glass globe on the main tower at the corner of Szewska Street and Kurzy Targ which had been damaged by lightning, was also removed.
From 1961, the building was completely renovated and modernized; the second and third floor were added to the retail space. In 1965, the business reopened under the name Spoldzielczy Dom Handlowy "Feniks" ("Co-operative Department Store 'Phoenix'), which is still used today. The building itself remained municipal property until 1995, when the company finally purchased it from the local administration. Currently, the building is undergoing another renovation.
