The building on Temișana Street no. 2-4 got its nickname from professor Andrei Pippidi, due to its decorations on the front face. You can find this interesting house in the vicinity of Luigi Cazzavillan Park. It was built in 1901 and extended in 1911.
It is in a state of advanced degradation. The original roof and other architectural details were destroyed following the earthquake of 1977. Probably this was the beginning of her fall into ruin. Today it is one of the riskiest abandoned places. Although it is included on the list of historical monuments in 2004, the palace of Temișana no. 2-4 received the sentence of collapse.
At the same time, the house is also known as Luigi Cazzavillan Palace. It is supposed that the journalist of the same name lived here, founder of the Universul newspaper, but unlikely, according to the documentation of jurnalul.ro, because he died in 1903 and the building permit dates back to 1901.
It's a small palace full of details, ready to start moving or threatening you.
The signs warn you about the imminent danger of collapse.
This was probably the inner lane that separated the old body from the new one. There are many stairs and walls. I can barely imagine how it lasts.
In the old days, this space was covered by dry clothes, and the echoes of neighbors gossiping at the windows and balconies were heard everywhere.
And this is not a good advertisement considering the context. The company on the ground floor could be up front to all those who put posters today with "We do anything ..."
One of the entries is similar to those from ghost movies. I admit that this exploration is quite worrying if you are alone. Every step you make is accompanied by crunching, and every five minutes a piece of plaster falls.
The smoke from the cigarette was to be blamed.
Everywhere it was full of cracks.
No step is safe at all, let alone the balcony.
Interior details were amazing. One of them is this ladder that links another balcony. It's gloomy when you think you have nothing to hold on if something fails.
A Scanteia newspaper with an interview given by comrade Nicolae Ceausescu.
It was not the only bottle. The old owners were big coca cola drinkers. I’m going to buy some bottles now, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
Thanks for reading!
