Real interesting! I have been to that house, visiting Margit and her husband at the time in the early 70's. I remember it well, especially the street being at a steep incline going up from the Danube.
I would say the house is in the Bauhaus style, probably built in the late 20's or early to mid 30's. I know Opapa lived in an apartment building in Pest (he showed it to us) where Margit had a business going when they lived there, so they must have moved to Buda in the mid to late 30's. .... that being said, if you discover otherwise let me know. Obviously there is a lot in my family's history that I didn't know!
That's so interesting, Dad! Do you have photos from that visit? Any from inside or around the house?
I think you're right about the architectural style and timeline -- I do remember reading or hearing something about how they moved to Buda from Pest at some point, probably in the mid-30s. I'll hopefully know more once I can get all their letters translated :)

I doubt I would ever find pictures I took, if I did take any; not sure anymore where to look.
I'll try.
Not sure if I have any photos - I don't tend to take many (too bad in this case) - but I can look.
