History

The house was actually created by joining two buildings. Originally a single-storey building, an additional storey was added in the early 19th century. In the doorway under the left part of the building there is an alley entrance that opens onto Kismester Street. The house belonged to the Fröhlich family, so the alleyway underneath was for a long time known as the Fröhlich alley. Between 1873 and 1875, the upstairs rooms of the Wesselényi House, and later of the Fröhlich House, were used by the Polgári Társalkodó (Civic Tavern), where the wealthier citizens of the town gathered to play cards and smoke cigars.
