The School of Journalism building at No. 44 Rozbrat Street in Warsaw was designed by Stefan Tomorowicz and built over a single construction season in 1936. Damaged during wartime hostilities the building was quickly rebuilt and transferred to the PZPR Polish United Workers Party authorities as a training center and also expanded to include a wing in line with a design that is Socialist Realism in form developed by the “Tigers”—Wacław Kłyszewski, Jerzy Mokrzyński, and Eugeniusz Wierzbicki—in 1950, expanded again in 1973 to include a high–rise hotel designed by Adam Kowalewski. The office complex, including the prewar building, was demolished in 2023. The article presents certain reflections in this matter that weighed in on the decision not to encompass the building with heritage protection, which made it possible to destroy it.
