History

The house was owned by the Hory family until nationalisation, and is therefore known as the Hory House. In the 1880s it acquired its eclectic form, which is still visible today. Its notable tenant was Koch Antal, the first professor of mineralogy at the University of Kolozsvár, and the first mineralogical explorer of Transylvania.
