Saving bank Subotica’s mansion / Putnik
Description
After they finished Synagogue in Subotica, Komor Marcell and Jakab Dezső design a bank building in 1907 at Subotica’s main street. The ground floor of the building was used as a bank and a restaurant and the upper stories as residential space. The floor plan of the object is in the shape of the letter L, but the façades are treated as a continuous elevation with central feature on the corner. The facades are decorated with characteristic, brightly colored majolica-glazed pyrogranite ornamentation, including the triple-leaf design on the tympanums of the two bay windows, in the center of which stands the symbol of economy: a sunshine-yellow beehive, detailed in blue and green, and roof cornice is embellished with heart and flower-shaped motifs in zsolnay ceramic, while the tympana over the windows of the first floor display peacock-tail designs. This is usual decoration that Komor and Jakab used on their privies projects, making generous use of the symbols and motifs found in Hungarian folk art. Contractor: Titus Mackovic
