Zádor Anna: Neoclassical Pest - Our Budapest (Budapest, 1993)

ning a new series of halls there. Fortunately, this gracefully decorated and markedly elegant little palace has retained its original form, in its outer appearance at least.

The size of these palaces is that of the usual houses built in a row but some of the civil tenements in the same neighbourhood were erected on a double site and have two facades facing two parallel streets. One such building is the Kappel House between Október 6. utca and Sas utca (Október 6. u. 5), with a doorway articulated by pillars on each side. The original one-storey building was constructed by Mihály Pollack for Frigyes Kappel; then, in 1846, József Hild added two more storeys. On the corner of Október 6. utca and Arany János utca (Október 6. u. 22) stands the Örményi House built as a three-storey structure by Fidél Kasselik (17602-1830) in 1816, but then in 1846 Ferenc Kasseelik added more storeys to the court wing. The courtyards of both houses were adorned with carved fountains.
