The Anna Koźmińska Tenement House is located at 64 Żelazna Street, on the corner of Krochmalna Street. Construction of the building, designed by Józef Napoleon Czerwiński, began around 1896 and was completed in 1912. The building was located within the boundaries of the Warsaw Ghetto and was damaged during the 1944 uprising. In 2009, the tenement was entered in the register of historical monuments
