Home of Daniel Fahrenheit, Polish physicist, in Gdansk, Poland

---

The site of the building where Daniel Fahrenheit is thought to have lived as a child has been given an attractive paint job and now stands out clearly on the street. The fact is though that the building, like most of the old town, was re-built after being destroyed during the war and now houses private apartments with the front basically a facade stuck onto a post war housing block. The entrance does feature some ornate decoration though to give you some idea of how this street once would have looked.
