On a rainy day in April 2021, while en route to get my Covid-19 vaccine at Honvéd Hospital, I noticed the door of Üteg utca was open. Intrigued, I entered to capture a few photos. Despite not frequenting this area often, with its hidden gems like Kartács utca 13, I returned only in 2023. To my surprise, the building had vanished! Architecturally unremarkable, it still saddened me to witness the disappearance of another old building I had explored. I recall being pleased to see that the original door knockers remained. Delving into its past revealed some fascinating anecdotes. Three notable ones include:

In 1911, László Csapó placed an ad in the Népszava, apologizing to the inhabitants of Üteg utca 23 and those affected by his wife’s words. Unfortunately, details of the incident remain unclear.

In 1919, an ad sought a comrade who had purchased a goat in Vác, which had disappeared the next day. The plea instructed them to contact the Red Guard Hirschl at Üteg utca 23 to reclaim the missing goat.

In 1941, István Travnik, residing in the building, published an ad in the Nemzeti Újság, appealing to civilians or soldiers who had taken a small black and white dog named Pici near Szászrégen (now Reghin, Romania), or had information about its whereabouts, to contact him.
