History
On the site of the Bürger House, on the corner of Kossuth Street (today Str. Călărașilor) and Beer House Street (today Str. Sinaia), there was an inn addressed to the Two Pistols, owned by the town, where the traders, horse-copers and travellers stayed. The inn was a potential epidemic hotspot due to its neglect and the amount of manure it contained, so the city decided to close it down in 1895 and sold it to the capitalist Bürger Albert. He was one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the city at the end of the 19th century, owning many buildings and businesses, including the Beer House Street factory. In 1897, he built a neo-Baroque palace on the new plot of land as his own residence, with a park. Although the Bürger empire went bankrupt during the depression of the 1930s, the house remains in the Bürger family until 1944, and probably until nationalisation in 1949. In 1972, a restaurant was opened here under the name Golden Rooster. The interior was designed by architect Gyenes Tibor. The restaurant was closed in the mid-1990s.
