The street bore only two names through time:[3] The current appellation Garbary refers to the (Buchholz ) tannery, called garbarnia in Polish.

The plot and the administrative building are now used by the Private University of Economy of Bydgoszcz (Polish: Wyższa Szkoła Gospodarki w Bydgoszczy).

Tenement at 3 1880s,[5] Eclecticism The plot has long been housing manufacturing industries: The growing success of the company led to the moving of the expanding factories in the area of Piekna street in Bydgoszcz before WWII: it was then renamed FOTON.

Tenement at 5 1950[5] Initially owned by Theodor Simons's firm, the lot moved to the ownership of August Appelt in the late 1890s.

[4] During Communist period, the area housed the production site Nr.5 of the state-owned enterprise of food industry (Polish: Przedsiębiorstwo Przemysłu Spożywczego) Jutrzenka, specialized in sweets and chocolates.

[12] In 2014, the Polish company Colian which succeeded Jutrzenka after the fall of communism, announced that the lot will be transformed into a housing estate.

These tenements were very popular at the time, as one can still notice today in downtown Bydgoszcz (e.g.Kossowski's 20 Stycznia 1920 Street 41 or Ossoliński Alley 17 and 19 from Bolesław Polakiewicz).

The western frontage onto Królowej Jadwigi Street has been decorated with old style visual advertising, prequel to the future global overhaul of the edifice.

Gorgeously restored in 2018, this neo-gothic housing is teeming with architectural motifs and minute decoration, such as the corner bay window topped by an onion dome, the delicate framing of the openings, the pinnacles crowning the wall gable or the adorned main entry door.

On the right end of Królowej Jadwigi Street's facade, a slight avant-corps is underlined by two tall Corinthian order columns.

Material is a mix of brick and plaster, with a particular notice to the facade on Królowej Jadwigi Street, where several architectural pieces are to be underlined.

However, one can still appreciate various Art Nouveau features, from the decorated arched frame, to the vegetal-and-figure motifs, to the wattle and daub upper part of the elevation and dormers.

The picture has been realized in 2018 by students from the UTP University of Sciences and Technology in Bydgoszcz (Polish: Uniwersytet Technologiczno-Przyrodniczy im.
