Teréz körút 9, an old apartment building constructed in 1887, is believed to have been designed by Sebestyén Messner and Rezső Arndt for Emil Lyka.

One intriguing story from my research on the house’s history revolves around a burglar named Károly Ferencz. In October 1930, he targeted an office within Teréz körút 9. Surprisingly, on October 29, Károly Ferencz called the Budapest Police Headquarters, directing them to find him in a small pub on Váci út. Acting on the tip, detectives located him as expected and promptly arrested him. Károly Ferencz explained that his recent theft attempts hadn’t been successful, and tired of wandering in the cold rain, he chose to surrender. Following an interrogation, he was arrested and taken to prison.
