An Art Deco Gem in the 8th District of Budapest

Nestled in Futó utca, a small street in Józsefváros, the 8th district of Budapest, lies one of the most exquisite examples of art deco architecture. Constructed between 1929 and 1930, this building was envisioned by Aladár Halász, who, upon its completion, moved into one of the flats with his family. In the early 2000s, the structure faced considerable deterioration. However, in 2003, it earned recognition as a protected architectural site from the authorities, leading to its renovation in the subsequent years. Though I had the opportunity to explore its interior a few years ago, my recollections are faint. I plan to revisit soon and share some photos with you.

I have launched Buildings Tell Tales in 2019, and since then visited and photographed over 1000 old buildings in Budapest. My goal is not only to take photos but to uncover the interesting stories hidden behind the old walls. By linking the stories of ordinary people such as workers, students, merchants, and domestic workers to specific places, I want to make the past tangible. Old buildings should be preserved not only for their aesthetic value but also for the memories they hold and the stories they tell.
