Examining the exquisite Neo-Romanian style interior design details of the Marmorosch Blank Bank edifice in Bucharest, now a hotel (arch. Petre Antonescu, 1915-1922). #marmorosch #marmoroschblank #neoromanian #balkans #bucharest #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache
My first visit to the newly renovated Marmorosch Blank building, a former bank, now a hotel, in mature phase Neo-Romanian style (arch. Petre Antonescu 1915-1922). This is the former safe deposit door, now the entrance to a fancy bar in the former strongroom of the bank. #neoromanian #marmorosch #marmoroschblank #petreantonescu #1910s #architecturehistory #bucharest #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache

My latest real photograph postcard acquisitions- published in the early 1960s Romanian People’s Republic. The modernist building in the centre is a part of my childhood, was the canteen where my parents and I took our meals during their Teachers’ Union sponsored balneal holidays at Amara Baths Spa in the Baragan prairie. Idyllic times. #postcards #realphotopostcard #1960s #postwarmodernism #amara #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca #valentinmandache
My monthly fresh haircut photo in front of Bucharest’s Greek Church. Bogdan, my Dutch school hairdresser, stated that for this month he chose a “mature expression” haircut. I concur with that :) #bucharest #architecturalhistorian
