The article presents the findings of a documentary research project about a colony of Finnish houses in Warsaw, Poland. Due to a specific character of the field site, many aspects of the study resembled the creation of a classic ethnographic monograph. The paper discusses the history of Warsaw’s first postwar housing project from its construction in 1945 until now, as seen through the lenses of both historical sources and personal memories of the Finnish houses’ tenants. The article examines various aspects of research methodology for studying contemporary cultural phenomena within urban space, such as protection of the interviewees’ privacy or the co-editing of quotations used in research articles. Moreover, by addressing the role of intangible heritage in the creation of cultural townscape, the authors contribute to the ongoing debate about the future of the Finnish houses colony.
