Amongst miNo.r designs Hauszmann made in the 1890s were those of the two buildings integrated into a row of three-storey houses at the head of Elizabeth Bridge in Buda. One of them, the corner building was owned by the Kégl family, whilst the other came to be Hauszmann's own real estate. From 1892 on, up until his death the architect lived here, at No. 10 Ddbrentei Street in a first-storey apartment overlooking the Danube. In the Governor's Palace (1893-1897] of Fiume (today: Rijeka, Croatia) the huge and imposing central hall commands respect for the building. The design of the whole palace is geometrical, and thus has a solemn exterior heralding its significance even when viewed from afar. New York Palace was built as the headquarters of the New York Life Insurance Company. Of the participants of this closed tendering, prominent masters cultivating eclectic architecture (masters such as Zsigmond Quittner, Samu Pecz, Vilmos Freund and Adolf Láng) it was Flauszmann who received the commission. The sweeping line of the Nagykörút (Grand Boulevard) being constructed at that time showed a pronounced breakpoint here which defined the architectural appearance of the palace. This may have been the reason why the architect integrated a tower-like projection in the design of the facade. As the Company wished to publish its reliability with the representation of its headquarters, Hauszmann had the chance to design a building with a rich variety of forms. Abounding in decorations, the famous café on the ground floor made the concept of the architect and his fellow architects (Korb and Giergl) available for the wide public. From the 1890s on, Hauszmann designed public buildings of exceptional significance. The former Curia, also referred to as the Palace of Justice (today: Museum of Ethnography, 1893-1896) ranks amongst the most important public buildings even today. Standing opposite the Houses of Parliament, it was an expression of spectacular formal gestures which may have been meant to counteract Steindl's Neo-Gothic style. Such a detail of the building is the portico evoking the design of the Reichstag in Berlin. IGAZSÁGÜGYI PALOTA, BUDAPEST. V.
