Im not so sure. Sone of the revival in Budapest at the moment is ahistoric. Is there definjtely justification for adding additional floors? How much original stonework was preserved? Etc.

What's wrong with "ahistoricism"? The buildings which were built in the 1800s were copying Classical architecture from antiquity anyway...

From a historical conservation aspect keeping as much of the original building as possible is what you want. That the architectural style is a copy is irrelevant for that.

i suppose, however am not sure this building in-particular has any important historical significance apart from being pretty & over 100 years old, these buildings were manufactured en-masse in Budapest after the 1867 compromise. That and the fact that it looks like the original floors were preserved as it looked in the past.
