We’ve just come across this post from a few months ago on the Jewish family search web site, describing a private prayer room that was discovered in L’viv in 2012 in the basement of a building at 71 Ivana Franka St.
Everybody thought that out of over one hundred synagogues in Lviv, only two of them were left: Beis Aharon V’Yisrael Synagogue and Jakob Glanzer Shul. Things changed in 2012 when one of our friends happened to discover during renovation of one of the rooms in his basement, that its ceiling is covered with polychrome decoration.
The paintings include images of two lions flanking the tablets of the Ten Commandments.

Always nice to have a private place for prayer.
