History

The house was built in the 1870s by the Mikó family. Mikó Imre died in 1876 and the house was inherited by his daughter Anna, whose husband was Pejacsevics Artúr. The building housed a district court and a post office, with shops on the ground floor. In 1910 the Pejacsevics family sold it to Fodor Domonkos. A chocolate factory was then established in the yard of the house. Then came the Romanian occupation and nationalisation. The factory's machines bought in Leipzig were sold as scrap metal.
