VMs: Warsaw Branch House



I set out to locate Voynich's Branch Houses for his Inculabula business in Europe. From the location in Warsaw I do not really know what "Centnerszwer i Ska" refers to, but I believe that I have come pretty close to locating the address at 143 Marszalkowska in Warsaw, Poland.

Warsaw Map (the best online map that I have found showing where the Voynich office would have been located. It seems that this Branch House was located at the bottom left corner of Ogrod Saski, diagonally across the intersection of Marszalkowska and Krolewska from the park.)

Voynich seemed to like being near parks.

The closest location in Warsaw that I can find to Marszalkowska 143 is the ORBIS office. I imagine that the Voynich location would have been across the street from where ORBIS is located. It may very well be that the building Voynich occupied in the early 1900s no longer stands.
