Andrássy út 96.: egy másik Herzl Tivadar háza. A Herzl-Hernádi – Szász-Koburg – Gothai hercegi – ideiglenes köztársasági elnöki palota

A unique architectural complex on Andrássy Avenue in Budapest, originally built as a private palace by Theodor Herzl and later expanded with rental housing, reveals a rare fusion of palatial and residential structures. The study highlights the building's transformation from a three-story neo-Renaissance residence into a mixed-use property after an 1890 extension designed by Lajos Ray Rezső, creating a visually unified courtyard despite functional divergence. Restoration work uncovered original decorative elements, including gilded pilaster capitals and painted coffers, while historical records trace its ownership from the Herzl family to Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and, later, its role as an interim presidential palace during Hungary's post-WWII transition. The research underscores the building's architectural significance as a rare example of adaptive reuse in Budapest's heritage landscape.
