Atmodas Street House No. 20

№ 22 and № 20 Atmodas Street around 1930

№ 22 and № 20 Atmodas Street in 2014

Let's pay attention to the already mentioned house on № 20 Atmodas Street, namely, what happened to this plot of land after 1874, when Schlaum Edelberg sold № 22 Atmodas Street, but № 20 kept for himself.

In 1889, the right to this property was acquired by the heirs of Schlaum Edelberg, from whom it was bought by Michel Kosak for 2,400 Rubles in the same year, and from Kosak in 1927 was inherited by Wulf Juda-Josua Kosak and his five sisters.

In 1930, the building in the photo was mentioned as a one-storey wooden residential building with an attic and a tiled roof. The building has 5 apartments - 3 kitchens, 8 rooms and 1 shop. There are also 6 wood sheds and a laundry house on the plot.

In the 1970s, Edelberg had a small items store in his own house, but in 1884 a small merchant Charlotte Schiermanns had the one.

During the First World War, Michael Kozak traded horses in his house, but in the 1920s and 1930s there was a butcher shop in Hirsch Greenfield, and from 1926 also the office of the Aizpute [Jewish] Credit Union.

Nowadays - unmanaged private property.
