The four-storey tenement building in the Cracovian district of Zwierzyniec, in the context of an understated Modern street frontage, is discerned by its overdoor with the relief of a bison. Its author was Konstanty Laszczka, a famed Polish sculptor. His son, Bohdan, was the architect and owner of the house. He was also the architect of the gigantic complex of the pre-war headquarters of the Polish Scouts (Harcerstwo) in Górki Wielkie near Brenna (where the very motif of a bison appears as well). The studio of the architect’s father, with a high glazing, was situated in the ground floor. The Modern house has a fascinating history – worth checking on site.
