The article presents the outcome of an analysis of decorative boarding in buildings originating from 1881-1939, with special attention paid to the applied composition solutions, board patterns and the basic sizes of the boards' cross-section - width and thickness. The author also determined the period of the occurrence of particular solutions and the degree of their popularity. Decorative boarding in architecture from the region on the Swider featured vertical, horizontal and diagonal patterns, as well as mixed arrangements with the boards following assorted directions. The vertical pattern was used rarely, mainly in the nineteenth century. Horizontal and mixed (basic) patterns were encountered in all periods, but a variant of the mixed arrangement with a herringbone or rhomboidal pattern took place only in the 1920s and 1930s. The examined technique resorted to more than ten variants of moulded and moulded-canted boards as well as canted boards. The edges were decorated with simple or halfround moulding, with the former appearing up to about 1910, parallel with the half-round moulding solutions. Subsequently, they were used only sporadically, and were replaced by half-round moulding. Canted boards occurred only in the nineteenth century. Studies of the width and thickness of both types of boards indicate that in the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century their characteristic features included larger cross-sections than in the 1920s and 1930s. The obtained results also demonstrate the usefulness of an analysis of decorative boarding for the process of dating. Owing to the considerable historical and aesthetic assets of the boarding (elevation boarding, the board patterns and widths) this element of wooden architecture certainly deserves to be protected.

The subject of the article is the history of some of the interesting interwar period constructions, namely the modernist railway platform umbrella roofs and the train station waiting halls of the Warsaw Railway Junction electrified railway lines. In 1933, an agreement was concluded between the Polish State Railways (PKP) and a consortium of British entrepreneurs on the electrification of the suburban railway lines of the Warsaw Railway Junction (to Otwock, Żyrardów and Mińsk Mazowiecki). The completion of this railway investment, one of the most significant in the interwar period, required the redevelopment of the track systems of the electrified lines and the construction of new platforms, umbrella roofs and stations. The design works related to the electrification and redevelopment of the Warsaw Railway Junction lines were conducted by the Polish State Railways Design and Study Bureau in cooperation with the Polish State Railways Warsaw Railway Junction Electrification Bureau and the Regional Directorate of the State Railways in Warsaw, under the supervision of the Ministry of Communication. At the stage of drawing up the concept of the communication system for the electrified lines, experiences of European railway management boards using electrified lines to handle suburban traffic were used to a large extent. In creating the communication system of the electric urban railway, the Polish State Railways Design and Study Bureau based their work largely on the Berlin Stadtschnellbahn (S-Bahn). The author of the concept of track systems and stations, as well as traffic organisation for the electrified railway lines of the Warsaw Railway Junction was Kazimierz Centnerszwer, Eng., a 1927 graduate of the Faculty of Railway Transport Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology, an employee of the Polish State Railways Design and Study Bureau. Platforms adapted to the new electric rolling stock were designed at the suburban stations of the electrified lines. They were island, bay and side platforms. At the time, the Polish State Railways Design and Study Bureau created a repeatable design of a station/ platform umbrella roof connected to the waiting hall and the ticket office building or office building. Depending on the local conditions, single-pitched umbrella roofs were also built on island platforms and double-pitched ones in the case of cross-platform interchanges. Unfortunately, in spite of the preliminary research having been conducted, the name of the architect who was the author of the project remains unknown. However, the authorship of Arseniusz Romanowicz, Eng., architect, was ruled out beyond doubt. The modernist platform umbrella roofs and waiting halls constitute an extremely interesting example of Polish modernist railway architecture of the 1930s. At the same time, they are a relic of one of the most prominent investments of the interwar period, namely the construction of the cross-city railway line and the electrification of the Warsaw Railway Junction. Their value is especially high in the context of the destruction of all the railway stations in Warsaw (including the modernist Warszawa Główna main railway station) and a considerable part of Warsaw’s railway architecture and infrastructure during the war.
