The basic outline of the Communication Workers’ Estate, known since 1936 as Boernerowo from the name of its initiator, Ignacy Boerner, Minister of the Post and Telegraph, dates back to 1932-1934, when the residential estate was built in the suburban locality of Babice. The housing estate was completed in stages in accordance with a holistic plan prepared by Adam Jurewicz and Adam Kuncewicz who followed the principles of progressive Polish town planning. Initially, it encompassed typical so-called growing single-family wooden houses; from 1934, they were accompanied by free-standing brick houses. Alltold, prior to 1939, garden plots were filled with 275 houses and some o f the public utility objects foreseen in the plan, including a wooden chapel and a children’s centre. From the viewpoint of town planning the present-day state of the preservation of the Estate can be regarded as satisfactory, and its woodland-garden character has not changed. The same holds true for the carefully designed arrangement of streets, strips composed of greenery, the overwhelming majority of the original divisions into lots, and the lines of free-standing, loose development proposed by the designers. Large fragments of streets filled with original housing have been preserved. In recent years, Boernerowo, similarly to single-family house estates maintained within the boundaries of Warsaw and built during the prewar period by resorting to thrifty construction technologies, has become the site of increasingly intensive investments which carry the threat of losing many valuable elements of town planning and architecture. The presented article is an attempt at a holistic arrangement of our knowledge about the history of the construction of the Boernerowo Estate, a diagnosis of the state of its preservation, and a definition, upon this basis, of the range of conservation protection suitable for the architectural-town planning specificity of the Communication Estate.
