One of the most classic, indeed textbook examples of the Modern Movement architecture in Kraków, moreover publicly funded, was situated at Oleandry St. The entire area is of Modernist character. It was composed of a few parallelepipeds, with cantilevers, a roof terrace, a clock tower; it has a reinforced concrete structure. The building was designed by an excellent architect, employee of the City Building Office. Unfortunately, the House was rebuilt in the 1970s, partly losing the purity of composition. It is crying for a considered renovation.
