Houses in Rózyczka. Building no. 1 was there from the very beginning. It was a brick building with two huge halls suited to accommodate one hundred of children in each hall. Behind this building, there was a playground with climbing ladders for children. In 1925 a new, wooden pavilion, nr. 2, with a large glazed porch was build, perpendicular to the first building. In the new pavilion (2) there were two dormitories for 30 children each, plus a hundred children could sleep at the same porch. No. 3, was a smaller brick building with a veranda and five rooms.
