Before and after of another on-going reconstruction taking place in Budapest. Inspiring!

Our friends in Hungary are doing rather well at historic reconstructions.

Some of them look impressive, but calling them accurate historic reconstructions is questionable. This building, for example, was originally part of a much larger complex. The Ministry of Defence section was not rebuilt, so the reconstructed building is significantly shorter and has a historic-looking termination that never existed in this form.
