History

The eclectic style building was built in the early 20th century for the master butcher Bányai Béla. Not to be confused with the (Papp-)Bányai Palace, which stands on the opposite side of the Main Square. There were formerly wooden buildings in the area, which burnt down in 1876 in a fire that started in an annex to the Franciscan monastery. The ruins were eventually replaced by high-rise stone houses; in 1888, the headquarters of the Butcher's Industrial Association was built here, including the Great Butchery. The Bányai House was built next to it between 1904 and 1907 for the butcher Bányai Béla, probably designed by Nagy Győző and built by Soós Pál. The Édeslyuk restaurant was located in the courtyard.

The former mayor Bernády György lived in the first floor apartment between 1936 and 1937, after selling his villa in Kosárdomb to the brewer Bürger Albert. In 1948, after the communist takeover, the building was nationalised and the restaurant closed. Today it houses apartments and shops on the ground floor.
