    It’s probably about the house of the Schulz family at ul. Floriańska 10. Ul. Bednarska was an extension of ul. Floriańska. These streets were often confused with each other, and the names were used interchangeably; see Jerzy Kandziora, Opowieści o mieszkaniach z kręgu Schulzowskiego mitu, “Schulz/Forum” 2018, no. 11, pp. 101–116, and also: 23 June 1915*.
