A photograph of one wing of the entrance door to Gęsiówka, not captured in the frame in its entirety. There is a white plaque with damaged side edges on the closed wing, which says: "Eintrittstreng VERBOTEN | [...]s wirdohneAnrufgeschossen", below in slightly thicker letters (original spelling): "[…]ejscie surowe zabronione | […]z ostrzeżenie sie strzela” (the letter 't' in the last word is smaller, added) which translates into "Access strictly prohibited. Shots will be fired with no warning". On the facade near the door, in the upper right corner of the photograph, there is an address plaque with a large number and a small inscription: "19 | DR[?] LUDWIKA | ZAMENHOFA". Next to the plaque on the inside - in a recess on the door side - there is also the plaque frame, but without the plaque itself. The facade is destroyed, the door wing is deprived of many ornamental elements, there is a small grate in one of the windows in the door, under the plaque hanging on it. On the left, in the distance, there is an illuminated space behind the second door - a fragment of a wall with battlements.
