Architectural Links Between Budapest and Zagreb in the Second Half of the 19th Century: Examples of the Ádám Palace in Budapest and the Medaković House in Zagreb

Architectural links between Zagreb and other metropolises in the 19th century Central Europe have been explored only partially. Whereas the influence of Vienna's architecture was more frequently a subject of interest, the entwined histories of architecture of Zagreb and Budapest in 19th and early 20th centuries remain mostly unexplored, despite the fact that Budapest was The capital of Croatia in the period between the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and the Dual Monarchy's breakup in 1918. This paper deals in more detail with two originally entirely identical Neo-Renaissance buildings from the second half of the 19th century that bear witness to these links between two cities: the Ádám Palace in Budapest (at 4 Bródy Sándor Street) from 1875-1876 and the Medaković House in Zagreb (at 15 Nikole Šubića Zrinskog Square) dated 1884-1885. The Budapest house was designed by a renowned Hungarian historicist architect Antal Wéber. A decade later, the same architect probably used the same design for the house of Bogdan Medaković in Zagreb. The design plans for this house have not been saved in the Zagreb city archives, which is why the Medaković House was misattributed for a long time to a local builder Janko Jambrišak, who probably took part in its construction.
