									History
									The construction of the slaughterhouse began in 1904. It was designed by Székely László, who was the city's chief architect between 1903 and 1922. The architect combined functionality and aesthetics to great effect. He designed the Hungária Baths, the Dauerbach Palace, the Weiss Palace, the municipal children's home, the Hungarian Credit Bank, the hosiery factory and the waterworks, among other buildings in the city. Székely László was then asked to design several slaughterhouses nationwide (i.e. in Hungary). Originally, the public slaughterhouse consisted of 11 buildings: breeding rooms, slaughterhouses, freezing chambers, offices, laboratories and even residential buildings. In 1992, it was closed for good and most of the buildings were demolished.
