We try to be good housekeepers of this beautiful building and try to keep it up and modernize also.
This is an ongoing project and it needs financial funds. The buildings aging faster than we are able to financially cover the renovation needs. If you feel so inclined, your donation will be greatly appreciated by the Hungarian community.
