A year later, the largest share in its production was held by: pendant lighting fixtures – 93,317 pieces, curtain rods – 47,548 sets, adjustable floor lighting fixtures – 29,840 and non-adjustable – 21,125 pieces.

In the 18th century, the street was part of the Lublin route that led through Lublin to Ruthenia. It connected a part of the royal city with the Lublin suburb and a village near the city called Dzierzków. There was a magnificent monastery and the Bernardine church at the Lublin route. Many taverns and inns were built next to it. In the nineteenth century, the road was incorporated into the city and the name was changed to Lubelska Street. It is at this time that many brick buildings are built here. From 1925, this street was named Stefan Żeromski. Today it is a favorite place for walks of the city's inhabitants. You can admire interesting architecture here while viewing classicist 19th-century tenement houses, palaces or palaces (Sandomierz Palace). There are many restaurants, cafes and small shops on the street. The promenade is connected with the town square via Rwańska Street, adjacent to the Tadeusz Kościuszko. Stefan Żeromskiego Street has been excluded from road traffic. Many outdoor events and concerts are held here.

In 1468, thanks to King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, they came to Radom oo. Bernardine monks starting the construction of the monastery. Simultaneously with the construction of the wooden monastery, the church of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Very soon after the construction of a wooden monastery, already in 1480, the construction of a brick monastery began. The complex was fortified. Over the centuries, the monastery was expanded - the chapel of St. Anna, renovation works were carried out, it was given a baroque character, and cloisters were built. In 1864, the monastery was dissolved and many monks were sent deep into Russia for their patriotic activities. The monastery and the church were then taken over by diocesan priests. The Bernardines again return to Radom in 1936. In the church of St. Catherine, there is a perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Since 2000, the monastery has been operating the Kitchen for the Poor of St. Anthony.
