This is how a historical building should be maintained - however the effect is a bit spoiled.
The Bruck house in Timisoara - one of the most beautiful historical buildings that is still standing in the historical center. Build 1909-1910 based on the designs of two of the most prominent Hungarian architects (Szekely Laszlo and Merbl Arnold) in a mix of Art Noveau and Secession , it has became one of the landmarks of the city of Timisoara. Decorations on the buildings are inspired by the Hungarian folklore and adapted to fit the style of the building. On the front of the house it can be seen the letters "BS" coming from the name of the original owner Salomon Bruck. The owner of the house was also the owner of the pharmacy that was functioning at the ground floor of the building - and it is still there today - pity it has a very ugly sign and advertisement - from my perspective that sign, can be replaced with something more suitable in order of being more true to the status of historical monument of the building. The house has been recently refurbished (in the past 5 years - for me that's recent ...) and it shows partially its former glory - see the reference to the ugly pharmacy sing on display today. Overall a landmark to visit when you are in Timisoara , during your visit to Unirii square.

Jewel of Art Nouveau / Secession architecture
Bruck House is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau / Secession buildings in Timisoara. Situated in Piata Unirii (Union Square), in the historical center, it was recently rehabilitated. Because of that, this jewel of architecture can now be admired by all lovers of the urban art from the beginning of the 20th century. Built in 1910, it is now a protected monument. An interesting thing is that the drugstore from the ground floor still has some original wood shop windows and furniture. Unfortunately the Union Square is now a huge building site because the whole public space is to be rehabilitated. According to the local authorities, the works should be finished until the end of 2015.
