This remarkable architectural design, the Neo-Romanian style, which is the national architecture of Romania, was very popular in the country over a period of 60 years, between 1890s and late 1940s, constituting an essential and valuable part of the local heritage and identity, today very much ignored and in a rapid process of destruction by rapacious property developers and speculators, under the indifferent eye of the authorities and a public largely ignorant about its own heritage.

I endeavor through this daily image series to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural heritage.
