Buildings Tell Tales

Szilágyi Erzsébet Fasor 41

, ,

In 1933, József Törs, a prosperous engineer and entrepreneur, commissioned Andor and Pál Vajda to create a residence incorporating the latest contemporary amenities of that era located at Szilágyi Erzsébet Fasor 41 in Budapest’s 2nd district. Luckily, this splendid example of modernist architecture endured through various conflicts, preserving numerous remarkable elements like the authentic doors, handrail, flooring, and a commemorative plaque featuring the names of the residents crafted by Szabados és Löwenstein.

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. If you’re interested in learning more about me, you can read additional details on this page.
