History
In 1718, the Unitarians, displaced from the church and school in the main square, moved to a two-storey house on Magyar Street, which they had probably bought earlier from the Unitarian goldsmith Huszár Mihály. The building was enlarged in 1721-1722, and in 1725 the neighbouring house, which had been purchased and was located at the corner of Magyar Street and Szappany Street alley, was added. Additional plots were purchased in 1726 and 1742. As the school building became unsafe, it was decided to completely renovate it in 1779. In 1780 the facade was renovated. The Unitarian General Council asked the engineer Ugrai László and the master builder Leder József to design the school. However, only Leder's name appears on the final plans. Construction began in the spring of 1801 and lasted until the autumn of 1806. When the new school building was completed at the end of the 1900-1901 school year, the school moved out of the building and the church then rented it out for apartments, workshops, offices and the ground floor for shops, with minor alterations.
