building in Poland
7 Stanisława Małachowskiego Street is a historic former bank building in Sosnowiec, Poland. It was built between 1922 and 1924 in the Neoclassical style. The building was designed by the architect Marian Lalewicz.
It was originally built as a branch of Bank Polski by the Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa. During the Second World War it was converted into a branch of the Reichsbank. After the war the building was used by Bank Śląski, and after the acquisition of Bank Śląski by ING Bank Śląski it became a branch of ING Bank Śląski.
In 1992 the building was renovated and modernised according to a design by the architects Marek Franiek and Jan Skrzypek. The works included changes to the façade, the cladding of the plinth and the beam below the gable with granite, and the installation of new flooring inside the building.
In 1993 the building was entered in the Polish register of monuments under the number A/1529/93. It is surrounded by a group of residential buildings constructed mainly for bank employees; together with the former bank building they form a listed architectural complex.
