History
The EMKE palace was built on the plot of land of Count Bánffy György in 1890-91, according to the needs of the tenant, the Hungarian State Railways. The offices of EMKE (Transylvanian Hungarian Cultural Association) occupied only on the ground floor of the square-facing part. The year 1885 in the timpanon facing the square is the year of EMKE's foundation and 1891 on the other wing is the year of the building's handover. EMKE was forced to sell it to MÁV (Hungarian State Railways) in 1906 due to maintenance costs. The building was stolen from them by the Romanian State Railways CFR after the Romanian occupation following the First World War.
