Description
The original building consisted of the ground floor and the two floors above. The flat roof was used as a roof terrace. A railing formed the upper end of the house. The 3rd floor was added after World War II and the gable roof was added after 1990.
As a showroom, the ground floor once had large shop windows, some of which are now used as doors. The ribbon windows on the first and second floors lend the reinforced concrete building its modernity. The lettering Iparcsarnok was once inserted, but was removed after 1945. Since the 21st century, Oázis has stood in this place in identical letters. The lettering is framed by two figures. The one on the left symbolises agriculture with a wreath of grain, while the one on the right holds a cogwheel as a symbol of industry. These two branches of industry were and are the backbone of Hungary's economy.

History
The Industrial Hall was built very fast just from 17 March to 30 May in 1936. We assume, that no special installations or partition walls were required inside. The two lower two floors are the original building. The cornice between the second and third floors is clearly recognisable these days.After World War II, the building was used as an exhibition and art space. During this time, the 3rd floor with the roof terrace was added. After 1990, the condition of the building was very critical. After extensive renovation, a further storey and pointed roof were added. This completely changed the original shape of the house. Instead of the Hungarian name for industrial hall, Oázis was added, a doctor's surgery.
