History

The house was built in 1912. It belongs to the Arany János Cultural Association. It was built as a tenement house by the association to maintain the museum from its income. On its walls are plaques commemorating Bocskai István, Lovassy László and Földi János.

Lovassy László was a reformist Hungarian politician. At the suggestion of Baron Wesselényi Miklós, they founded the Association for Social Conversation, advocated a solution to the serf question and helped Polish refugees. On 29 January 1836, after the violent dissolution of the Transylvanian Parliament, he made a revolutionary speech at a sympathy demonstration in Pest in favor of the detained Wesselényi Miklós. When Metternich violently dissolved the Hungarian Parliament in Pozsony, Lovassy blamed the king and the government for the unsolved serf question. He was accused of insulting his majesty and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment in 1837. He was released by amnesty in 1840, but suffered from mental problems. He died in 1892 in Nagyszalonta.
