Government House, Lviv

There is a small square with a monument to Vyacheslav Chornovil (Chairman of the Lviv Regional Council in the early 1990s) in front of the house.

On April 28, 1943, the edifice witnessed an official ceremony of the inauguration of SS Division Galicia that was attended by representatives of the authorities, the National Socialist Party, the German army, former soldiers of the Ukrainian Galician Army, the press; well-known Ukrainian statesmen Viktor Kurmanovych and Volodymyr Kubiyovych were present too.

[2] During the Soviet period, the Communist administration decided to retain the building's former function by assigning it to a local obkom.

The facades are rusted and symmetrical, divided vertically by small protrusions, horizontally — by strips of cornices.

The complex of interiors is dominated by the grand staircase (architect Sylwester Hawryszkiewicz, sculptor Leonard Marconi).
