..., right in the centre next to their factories and literally in the next street, large tenement blocks, taking up little less ground, but housing thousands of workers.
Many of the palaces have now been turned into museums, in which case they have been maintained to a reasonable standard. The ones that have not, are in just as appalling a condition as those tenement blocks which still house to this day thousands of Lodz residents.
In 1905 the workers attempted a revolt. This was put down in no uncertain terms by the Tsarist police force; over 300 workers were killed as they restored order to the city.
