Great work and wonderful photos of masterworks. However, you might want to correct whom he married. As you’ve written it, he married the United State (Stanow Zjednoczonych), which I am sure you didn’t intend. Interesting fact is that my grandmother nee Zawadzki, was the daughter and niece of famous 19th century engineers whose work can be found in present day Lwow (or Lvivi in Ukrainian.) It would be interesting to know if the Zawadzki family was originally from or related to the Zawadzki family originally of the Podlasie region of Poland east of Warsaw. My great grandfather moved to Lwow after the 1863 Uprising where there was greater freedom. There is definitely something in the genes as many of their decendents have become engineers themselves.

My maiden name is Zawadzki and I just happened upon this link through something else sent my way. From all I know, Zawadzki is not a common name. My grandfather’s first name was Stanislaus and he had a half-brother, but not sure of much else. I am so enthralled to find this information. Even if not a relative, I am proud to share a name with such a great talent.

Wladyslaw Zawadzki is my great, great uncle. My grandfather, Vince Watson (shortened version of Zawadzki), was Wladyslaw’s nephew. Grandpa owned Auburn Watson and designed many beautiful kitchens in Buffalo for 50 years. Architecture and building run in the family. I am only 13 years old but I want to be an architect like my great, great uncle. I love building, designing and construction. I spend hours daily drawing and designing buildings. I did not know that my uncle was an architect until this Thanksgiving. Thank you for posting this video. It inspires me to become an architect even more!
