The building was designed by Antal Gottgeb for Kálmán Almássy in 1877. At the beginning of 1948, it became the property of the Center for Architectural Sciences, and later its legal successor, the State Institute of Architectural Science and Design operated here. The building has been the headquarters of the Association of Hungarian Architects since the autumn of 1954. In 1997, after its establishment, the Chamber of Hungarian Architects and the Chamber of Budapest Architects also moved here.
