Only later to the request of Bernády György, the construction was raisen to 3 floors. The construction was started in 1911 and in 1913 the inside decoration was finished too. On the window glasses are ilustrated sequences from hungaryan legends. The roof is decorated with blue, ruddy and white tiles. On the principal facade the statues and the embossment is bronze.
