The text mentions a 'valuable monument of the past', namely the manor house in Ostashino. Numerous elements of the house, some of the rooms, and the patterns on the cornice or tiles are described and illustrated. In addition, the history of this farmstead, formerly owned by the Baków family, and later by the Szwykowski family, is recalled (Source: Tygodnik Illustrowany, Warsaw 1900, Półrocze I, pp. 394-396, after: Digital Library of the University of Łódź).
