History

The building was already standing in 1872, when the Bihar County Savings Bank took it into use. The facade, probably of Romantic design, was turned into an Art Nouveau facade to match the style of the adjacent Eagle Palace. The second floor of the property was built in 1886. It was remodelled in 1909-1910 based on the plans of Mende Valér, and the building got Art Nouveau decoration.
