History

One of the two Pataki families, who had moved from Sárospatak to Kolozsvár, was the owner of the house and perhaps also the builder. Many important personalities of Transylvania were among the descendents of both families during the 17-19th centuries. Among the descendants of the master tailors Pataki István (1615-1685), there were priests and college teachers, but they were mainly known as a family of doctors. The founder of the other family was also called Pataki István (1641-1693). In his youth he excelled in the anti-Turkish wars and was granted a nobility in 1662. Among his descendants were a lawyer and a college printer, but most of them took part in public affairs as town magistrates (councilors, chief magistrates), councillors of the Reformed Church and the college. It is not possible to identify which family was the builder. In the first half of the 19th century the house became the property of the church. In the middle of the century it became the property of the Tollas family, and in the early 20th century of the university. Today it houses the social offices of the institution.
