Description

Four larger flat houses that can be regarded as a single unit. It was not very often in Budapest that a whole row of houses were built next to each other, as was the case in the period leading up to the First World War. The buildings are similar in appearance. They usually have six storeys. Only the corner house no. 2 is one storey higher to emphasise the corner. All the houses have balconies. No. 2 also has loggias, which are arranged between the avant-corps. Nos. 4, 6 and 8 have an avant-corps in the centre, which is adjoined by the balconies. 

The buildings were constructed with a reinforced concrete skeleton.

The sculpture at house No. 2 is the work of János Szentgyörgyi Darabos. 

No. 2: probably by Gyula Jakobik for Ödön Keresztessy

No. 4: Iván Kotsis for Lipót and Géza Polgár

No. 6: Miksa Politzer for Mór Herskovits and Etelka Léderer

No. 8: József Fischer and Eszter Pécsi for Rudolf Flusser and Emma Wilfing
