History
The row of houses opposite the old college building is known as the home of the Reformed teachers. One of the teachers, Szatmárnémeti Sámuel, bequeathed his house in 1717 on one of these plots to the ecclesia with the stipulation that it should serve as a teacher's residence at all times. Then, one by one, the plots of land to the east and west were bought up for teachers' homes. They were destroyed by fire in 1798. The church also had the architect of the college building, Léder József, draw up plans for four teachers' houses to be erected here. These were built between 1802 and 1827, the first one by Léder József, the others by Sommer János and Winkler György, according to the original plan. They originally housed four teachers, but the increase in the number of teachers made it necessary to add apartments on the ground floor in 1923. Many of the College's famous families of teachers lived in these houses, and many of the students also rented accommodation from them. A memorial plaque on the wall commemorates the birthplace of Professor Szilágyi Ferenc's son, the historian and academic Szilágyi Sándor(1827-1899), one of the most prominent researchers of Transylvanian history. In 1948 the teachers' apartments were nationalised and after 1996 they were sold to private owners.
