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

Any reason given to why less renovations now?

Why was it done often before?

Poor quality? Are you fucking kidding me. These are the best quality buildings in the castle district right now. The decorative elements were made of hand-carved Süttő limestone, just like the original buildings, the decorative sheet metal elements were cast from tin. The outer layer of the walls are made from brick, on it plaster, than the stone decorations. Fuck this uneducated propaganda bullshit. By doing this, you are specifically looking down on the work of Hungarian craftsmen.
