The Royal Hungarian Vocational School of Mechanics

123_1The Royal Hungarian Vocational School of Mechanics and Watchmaking was founded in 1898. It’s building was made in 1900-1901 according to the plans of Gyula Partos. The eclectic building’s most impressing decorations are the glass-mosaics on the main facade and under the windws of the 1st floor. These were made in the workshop of Miksa Roth, very famous Hungarian stained glass and mosaic maker of the period. After 5 renamings, the school is now called “Kando Kalman Műszaki Föiskola”, Kando Kalman College of Electrical Engineering. The building is in the not so elegant but soon to be revived (hopefully) area, the 8th district, under Tavaszmezo utca 15. You can have a walk there from the Baross utca tram station (trams 4 and 6) through Horvath Mihaly ter (take the street on the left side of the church on Horvath Mihaly square).
