Józef Piłsudski House of Physical Education and Military Training, (now the Museum of Independence and offices)
Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, Stefan Strojek
no. 7 at 3 Maja Avenue / 2 Oleandry St.
1934
- m2
The building was designed as a part of a symmetrical complex connected by a pergola or a colonnade, at the corner of Oleandry St. From here the First Cadre Company, predecessor of the Polish Legions, commanded by Józef Piłsudski, set off in August 1914 to fight for independence. Even though the architecture commemorating this act was completed only in half, it is still an excellent, Modernist, expressive building. It was carefully finished. Ownership problems after the Second World War and 1989 contributed to the desolation of the building. However, it was recently renovated.
