I am trying to ascertain where this address might be. Given the family members who were the senders, it would make sense to be Grodno, in present-day Belarus, but the Polish text is throwing me off. Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Hello,
The listed address is Grodno, ul[ica] Młynarska 16. Note that the street is probably now called something else in Ukrainian.

(And the sender is B. PONIEMOŃSKI.)

It's definitely Mlynarska Street (Ulica) in Grodno (the m. is for miasto = town/city). This is what AI tells me:

Based on historical records, ul. Młynarska (Mill Street) existed in Grodno (Hrodna) during the interwar period (1920s-1930s).

Key details regarding this location:
Historical Context: Records from the 1920s indicate it was a residential area in Grodno, which was part of Poland at that time.
Archival Info: Documents mention residents living on ul. Młynarska in Grodno, specifically mentioning records from 1924.
Map References: Old city plans of Grodno (e.g., from 1932) show the street layout and industrial areas, often featuring a Młynarska street near the river or historical milling sites.

Note: In modern-day Grodno, Belarus, street names have largely been renamed from their Polish-era designations.

This article apparently contains references to the street name.
