History
In 1773 the future Emperor Joseph II was accommodated here, as it was the most suitable building in the town. Makariás Walles János appeared in Marosvásárhely in the 1750s as a tenant of the right to brew Beer. In 1760 he took the oath of citizenship and was elected a member of the Council of Jurors. In 1778 he became mayor of the town. He also traded in cattle, horses and timber. He died in 1784, leaving a considerable fortune. He began building the house with his first wife, Anna-Maria Zeidler, whose good business sense was a key factor in the accumulation of his fortune. She died in 1765 and the building was not fully completed until the early 1770s. It was bought by Teleki József in 1813. In the 1850s, it became the property of Engel József, a doctor, who renovated the building and gave it a new look. In 1864, the Reformed parish bought it from him and had it converted into a girls' grammar school, which operated for three decades. On 24 June 1896 it almost burned down, by which time the school was no longer in operation. The parish had it rebuilt in the neo-Baroque style later that year, according to the plans of Flesch Adolf, and it was then that it acquired its present appearance.
