and two in Erzsébet Boulevard (District VII, Erzsébet Blvd. No. 6, 1887 for the widow of Pál Kehrerand District VII, Erzsébet Blvd. No. 56, in 1886 for Frigyes Korányi). The latter also featured a stylistically authentic Neo-Renaissance facade (seemingly a three-storey one) as Czigler integrated the facade levels although his client required a four-storey development this time. The building housing the Commercial College (founded in 1857) in Budapest was also a well-articu­lated development with consistently Neo-Renais­sance details (V, Alkotmány Street Nos. 9-11, 1882) The Roman Catholic (today: Greek Catholic or Uni­­ate) church in Rózsák Square (District VII, Rózsák Square, Nos. 9-10, 1883) is one of the few build­ings by Czigler that show features of the Romantic style evoking the Middle Ages. Originally built as the parish church of Erzsébetváros, it was donated to the Greek Catholic church in 1905 and started to function as its very first church in the capital. The abstract medieval forms of the building are sym­bolic only, the architect used simple materials coupled with a generous brick cladding. Cziglerwas also the architect of the eclectic-style parish church named after St Elizabeth of the Árpád Dynasty (Rózsák Square No. 8, 1881) standing next to it. The latter building is a simple single-storey develop­ment with modest elegance reflecting academic taste and thus blending with its neighbour. The building formerly housing the municipal council of District IX has kept its office functions ever since. It is a two-storey corner development in Neo- Renaissance style sprawling in the directions of both public domains. Its artistic effects are intensified by the row of openings emphasized by the elegant framing of the main floor above the ground floor with effects similar those of ashlar work. The headquarters of the National Forbtry Association is another corner building with a turret-like projection on its corner. Besides the features of its prevailing style, the Renaissance the corner quoins, brick cladding and varied roof forms the structure also bears characteristics of Romanticism. Of the four elevation levels the two lower ones are united by their identical forms with the effect of an illusive decrease of the dimen­sions: thus the building appears to be a three-storey one. The urban palace is a special type of residential buildings. Designing this development was a task matching and worthy of Czigler's schooling and talents. The client com­missioning Saxlehner Palace along Andrássy Avenue was András Saxlehner known to posterity as the discoverer of the mineral springs around Buda containing magnesia salts. Prospering rapidly, the Saxlehner family of Thu ring ian origins wished to have a worthy home for their own purposes. The three-storey eclectic Neo-Renaissance palace truly reflects Czigler's youthful professional enthusiasm whilst blending with AZ ORSZÁGOS ERDÉSZETI EGYESÜLETEK HAZA, V.
