There are houses that you pass by without even noticing they exist and there houses that force you to stop to admire their beauty. It will be impossible to stroll through Bucharest’s city center on Nicolae Iorga Street without stopping for a second to enjoy the architectural perfection of the building signed by Paul Smărăndescu.
The main building has a neo-romanian style and was nuilt in 1914 after the the plans of Paul Smărăndescu, while the second building, also featuring the inspiration and the style elements of the first one, was erected later on with the care of Constantin Iotzu.
