History
Today the building houses the Rectorate of the Polytechnic University.
The former Lloyd's Row (now Piața Victoriei) consists of two relatively long promenades, with a landscaped section between them. The western promenade was once the haunt of bourgeois families, with elegant restaurants and shops. Both promenades were lined with imposing blocks and apartment buildings erected after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. One such building is the Lloyd Palace, a four-storey Art Nouveau house built in 1912. It was built by the British insurance company Lloyd's, based on the designs of Baumhorn Lipót. The ground floor housed the Café Loyds, while the first floor was used for the insurance company's offices and a grain exchange. On the upper floors were luxury apartments. The café is still in use today, and above it is the Rector's office of the University of Technology.
