Jakab Csendes Palace
Alternative names: Pokorni House
At the end of 1904, a building permit is issued for a three-story building, completed in 1905, that showcases the architectural vernacular utilized by architect Martin Gemeinhardt in the first half of his career: ample use of ornamentation and visible brick. The Jakab Csendes palace is dominated by the vertical line, in the form of richly ornate pilasters. Floral motifs are an essential presence, but the composition is dominated by two heralds in high relief, bearing a shield with three rectangular elements, a heraldic symbol of the artists' guild. The palace's surprises are consistent on the interior, too, with the same heraldry being present.
