History

It was built by the Industrial Company of Zsolna in 1910 in Art-Nouveau style. It was named after Baross Gábor, whose statue adorns the facade of the building.

Baross Gábor (1848-1892) was a minister of Hungary, who was born in the nearby Pruzsina. As Minister of Transportation he greatly contributed to the development of the railways of Hungary, for which he was often called "iron minister". He also contributed to the establishment of the clothes factory of Zsolna.
