Though development in the late 19th century and early 20th saw Łazarz take on a decidedly city-like character, its village heritage can still be traced. There is perhaps no better example of this than the house of Łazarz’s last sołtys, or village leader, decomposing on ul. Głogowska, not far from Wilson Park. This intriguing structure, sticking out like a sore thumb among the street’s stately multi-family architecture, dates back to 1902, two years after its owner Adam Jeske ceased his merry sołtysing days. This came about as a result of the 1900 integration of Łazarz into Poznań, and in that sense the building never even saw Łazarz as an independent village, but its style is certainly a throwback. Unfortunately, due to a lack of willing buyers or city funds sołtysówka has fallen into dire disrepair, now looking like it could easily star in a horror flick.
