Day of Lukács in Hungary. Comes from the Latin Lucas which means: man from Luciana.
This is a typical house viewed from within, in the downtown of Budapest. Interestingly in Budapest social “classes” weren’t segregated geographically. This type of buildings are good example of it. In the early 1900s you could find people from the working class (means factory workers) living in the cellar of this buildings under terrible circumstances. Downstairs maybe some stores, shops, services with their owners living behind the store. The first floor and the large apartments having windows to the street-front was for rich citizens, for bureaucrats, officers and the rest behind for the maids serving them. Almost the whole society was represented in a building like this.
