Budapest - Pasaréti street 10. - 1st floor
The house was build nearly 100 years ago as a Hungarian-American person's haunting house. At that time the neighborhood was nearly empty, only a stone and brick factory was around, which is now an athletics field and sport-complex. During the World War II. the house was one of the Nazi party's residence. In 1944 Mussolini visited the house for a lunch. The next - yellow - house (Pasareti 8) was the residence of the most famous film star - Pál Jávor in the 40s - let say the Hungarian Clark Gable. When he was arrested by the Nazi's he was held in the house basement's jail.
The house is situated on the Buda side of the city. This is the hilly, more attractive and most expensive part. Lots of large and old villas, and several ambassadors residence you can find in this area. The place Pasarét - field of Pasa's - got its name from the Turkish times (16th century), when the high rank Turkish army leaders also found this place the most attractive part of the city. Today it is still rich in green gardens, good hilly air, but still very close to downtown.
