Stanisław Trela

Stanisław Trela (1892–1950) was a Polish architect best known for his designs of public utility buildings in interwar Ivano-Frankivsk (then Stanisławów, Second Polish Republic).

Trela was born on 19 April 1892 in Żurawiczki, Austria-Hungary. His father was a teacher. He finished his school education in Przemyśl and in 1913 started to study architecture at Lemberg Polytechnic. In 1918–1919, he served in the Polish Army. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Trela received his degree in architecture in 1924, and a year later moved to Stanisławów where he worked as the city architect from 1928 to 1932. He also presided over the local Society of Independent Construction Managers and was a member of the Polish Polytechnical Society.

Trela studied under the noted architect Witold Minkiewicz. His architectural style blended modern and traditional elements. He frequently incorporated a simplified monumental classicism into his projects.
