Architekci powiatowi w powiecie bialskim (1918-1939). Przyczynek do badań nad dziejami architektury województwa lubelskiego
The Powiat Architects of the Biała Podlaska Powiat (1918-1939): A Contribution to the Research on the History of the Architecture of the Lublin Voivodship

Summary/Abstract: During the interwar period of 1918-1939, powiat (county) architects in Biała Podlaska were also entrusted with tasks in the neighbouring powiat of Konstantynów. The position of powiat architect was filled by Zygmunt Krasiński (1920), Tadeusz Prauss (1921-1922), Konstanty Srokowski (1922-1925), Bronisław Makowski (1925-1926), Adam Dzięciołowski (1926-1931) and Eugeniusz Eberle (1932-1939). The dates suggest a continuity of office; however, this was not always the case, as it sometimes happened that months passed between the departure of one architect and the assumption of the office by the next. The powiat architect was assisted in turn by a powiat chief builder. These architects were often the only representatives of professional architectural and construction expertise in their area of authority. For this reason, they had a good chance of being involved in design projects and usually took such opportunities when they arose. It was also important that their names appeared on construction projects when confirming their compliance with the actual site plans attached to them. In the case of undated building projects, information about the term of office of the powiat architect can help determine the date their design was developed.
