History

It was built in 1904 according to the plans of the architect Szász Róbert. It was equipped with electric lighting and central heating, according to the most modern requirements of the time. The lower floor was a café, the upper floor was used for entertaining and there was also a hotel in the building. However, due to poor workmanship, it had to be closed for an extended period in mid-January 1905. The building had serious heating and lighting problems. It was not until 1912 that a decision was taken to renovate the building, but the First World War thwarted the plans. In the second half of the 20th century it was converted into a cinema. Today it houses offices.
