The sgraffito murals illustrated below were created by Józef Sławiński.
The other Sławiński sgraffito mural illustrated on Buffalo as an Architectural Museum is the Calasanctius mural now located on the Buffalo State College campus.
The most complete, excellent Website on Sławiński is by Dr. Peter Gessner.
