Here's the site: http://merites.hu/2013/02/zugligeti-valosag-galeria/ I was able to use google translate to detect language and find out it's hungarian. The big caption gets translated to this: The Zugligeti on this photo. We still runs the bar and the house is still standing, but in ruins. It was the 58 tram. Perhaps, once the capital of the kiverekszi his misery into which the inept and corrupt leadership left-liberal repelled, perhaps this could be fed into the electrical lines in Budapest and revived the visitors to see. The line is terminated in January 1977. "This is the caption of a photo here on facebook. Then we thought that it looks like this now Zugligeti house. Unfortunately, pictures speak for themselves.
That's beautiful. I was thinking of the Addams Family when I saw the photo. Uncle Fester could light up the signals.
Yes, I did. It was obviously something special at one time. For my previous comment, I'm just looking at that dreary scene. Slightly foggy, the starkness of trees without foliage and the general condition as pictured.
As Hungary is "next door" to Slovenia, maybe I should go search for this building! It reminds me of a rather derelict building near Lake Bled, Slovenia. There was some suggestion it may be restored - must check on it next time we go to Bled, maybe this summer.
Not sure Ken. It is all about availability of funds. There was some investigation into the building at Bled about who owned it, IIRC. There are some beautiful buildings here, but also some in a poor state, sometimes because the owner has died or left the country, so they just slowly rot. I think this is more so in the areas which were caught up in the balkans conflict.
It really doesn't take much imagination to see how that would have looked in its' prime. The workmanship speaks volumes. And, unfortunately, proof that graffiti translates all too well...
