Interactive Map of the Strumień’s Town Square – Reconstructing Everyday Life in the 1930s

View the interactive map

Purpose

The project restores the original numbering system, which differs significantly from today’s, to help identify how buildings were used and who occupied them during the interwar period. It highlights the square’s former character—home to a mix of small businesses, craftspeople, and cultural communities, many of which have since disappeared.

Research & Engagement

Based on my independent research, the map supports ongoing historical inquiry and serves as a practical tool for engaging with subject matter experts. Its interactive format allows for easier exploration and feedback, making it more accessible than static written documentation.

Next Steps

This map forms the basis for further reconstruction of the town’s 1930s landscape, with plans to expand into adjacent streets and develop a 3D representation informed by verified sources and expert collaboration.
