History

It was built in the 19th century on the site of two bourgher's houses; the ground floor and the cellar of the building on the left are Renaissance. Its builder and architect are unknown, but it is thought to have been built around 1808. After the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-49, it was occupied by Bánffy Dániel, ispán of Kolozs County. During his stay in Kolozsvár, his son, Prime Minister of Hungary Bánffy Dezső used to stay here. From 1904 on, on the initiative of Pósta Béla, it was rented by the university canteen. From the beginning of the 20th century it was used as a tenement house, with shops on the ground floor.
