74 Marszałkowska Street multifamily residential building

The 74 Marszałkowska Street multifamily residential building is a socialist realist multifamily residential building, located in the city of Warsaw, Poland, at 74 Marszałkowska Street, near the crossing with 29/31 Hoża Street. It was built in the 1960s, and since 2016, it has the status of a cultural property.

History
The building was built in the 1960s, in the former location of the Pod Husarzem Tenement, which was destroyed during the Second World War, and deconstructed after 1944.

In 1960, a building of an identical design, commonly known as Writers' Home, was built nearby at 68/70 Marszałkowska Street.

In 1998, on its front wall was placed a plaque commemorating the location of the headquarters of the Iwo Battalion of the Home Army, which operated in Pod Husarzem Tenement in 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, in the Second World War.

On 25 August 2016, the building was added to the municipal list of cultural property of the city of Warsaw.

Design
The multifamily residential building is designed in Socialist realist style, meant to remind the style of Marszałkowska Residential District, which was built a few years before it. The building is in the shape of the letter L, and has construction made from reinforced concrete and walls made from ceramic bricks.
