1927 - Data Points by Date/Period

Constructed between 1927 and 1929, the 'George Bariţiu' County Library building, located at The Heroes Boulevard 35, was designed in the neo-Romanian style by architects Moritz Wagner and Constantin Nanescu. Originally, it was intended to serve as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Historical and Architectural Landmark known as the Red Church is located within the municipality of Arad. This edifice holds significance as a place of worship for the Evangelical-Lutheran Church, conducting religious ceremonies in the Hungarian language. Its name is derived from the distinct appearance of its polished brick exterior. Construction of the church commenced in March 1905, under the guidance of Arad architect Ludovic Szantay, who designed the project. The culmination of this endeavor occurred in September 1906, marked by the consecration event. The Red Church showcases neo-Gothic architectural style, boasting a central tower that stands 46 meters tall. It features exquisite stained glass windows crafted by artist Josef Polka from Budapest. The pulpit, a masterpiece of sculpture, was chiseled by György Orr from Casovia. Additionally, the altar painting was skillfully executed by the painter J. Umlauf. The church houses a Wegenstein-type electropneumatic organ, created in Timișoara and installed in 1927. During its inauguration, the church was equipped with three bells, collectively weighing 1,590 kg. Tragically, during the Second World War, two of these bells were requisitioned by authorities and melted down for bronze projectiles. The bells were cast in the renowned Hönig foundry workshop in Arad, celebrated for its expertise in bronze casting within the region.

Situated along Tisza Lajos Boulevard, the Anna Thermal Bath in Szeged is an eclectic-style edifice with white walls that exudes a blend of architectural influences, including Oriental elements. The collaborative design efforts of Antal Steinhardt and Adolf Lang came to fruition in 1896 when the building was erected. Its original purpose was to serve as a communal bath for the city's residents. The name of the bath is derived from the nearby artesian well, drilled in 1927, which yielded its distinctive water. This curative water was initially bottled by Dezső Patzauer, and the bath's namesake, Anna, honors his daughter. The water from the Anna Well is renowned for its effectiveness in addressing digestive ailments and is often consumed as a therapeutic beverage, with the residents of Szeged frequently bringing it home. The bath offers a range of medical treatments and wellness services, creating an inviting space for relaxation, including nighttime bathing events.

The statue, commissioned by the 2nd Romanian Cavalry Division to honor their World War I efforts, stands as a reminder of the sacrifice of the 2nd Roșiori cavalry regiment in the Prunaru Charge. The monument features a bronze allegory representing Victory and Sacrifice. The cavalryman on horseback symbolizes Victory, while a nymph with laurels signifies protection or loved ones left behind. The six-meter high pedestal includes a Sacrifice crypt with a Gate of Immortality, a bas-relief portraying a wounded horseman embraced by an angel with laurels. Inside, a lit candle illuminates marble-carved names. The pedestal's sides bear bronze bas-reliefs depicting battles like Prunaru and Măgheruș. Unveiled in 1927, the statue witnessed the presence of royalty. The monument, once surrounded by a garden, now sits behind buildings erected in 1968.

The Stephen the Great Monument (Romanian: Monumentul lui Ștefan cel Mare) stands prominently in Chișinău, Moldova. Architect Alexandru Plămădeală designed the monument to Stephen the Great in 1923. Situated near the main entrance of Stephen the Great Park in Central Chișinău, it was completed in 1927 and unveiled on 29 April 1928. This monument replaced the Alexander II of Russia monument, which had been destroyed by Romanian authorities in 1918. The monument's creation cost 4,000,000 lei. Prior to the 1940 Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and northern Bukovina, the monument was relocated to Vaslui, and its pedestal was destroyed. On August 25, 1942, the monument returned to Chișinău and was taken back to Romania in 1944. Soviet authorities ordered its restoration to Chișinău in 1945. On August 31, 1989, the Stephen the Great Monument was reinstated to its original location, as chosen by Alexandru Plămădeală in the 1920s. The initial inscriptions were reinstated. The monument's pedestal hosts regular flower-laying ceremonies during national holidays and official high-level visits.

Spiru Haret Dobrujan College, also known as Colegiul Dobrogean Spiru Haret, is a prestigious high school situated at 14 Noiembrie Street, nr. 22 in Tulcea, Romania. The school's history can be traced back to 1883 when it was originally established as a real gymnasium exclusively for boys. However, due to an economic crisis in 1885, it temporarily closed down. In 1890, it reopened with three grades, later expanding to four. By 1897, it transformed into a high school with the addition of a fifth grade, further growing to seven grades in 1899. Education Minister Spiru Haret approved the construction of the school's first dedicated building in 1902, which served as the only high school in Northern Dobruja at the time. The following year, it was named after Prince Carol, the heir to the throne. Notably, the region's first student publication emerged from this school in 1906, and its library, established in 1916, became the first public library in Tulcea. During World War I, the school temporarily shut down under Bulgarian occupation in 1916 but reopened in 1918 after the war ended. In 1923, a bust of Spiru Haret was unveiled near the school premises. The north wing of the building was constructed between 1925 and 1926, providing ten classrooms with modern facilities, electric lighting, and proper furniture. Additionally, the schoolyard was paved and surrounded by a stone fence. Over the years, several improvements were made, including the addition of teacher's rooms, a reception area, basement, and attic by 1927. The school's name changed in 1941, dropping the reference to Prince Carol after he abdicated as king in 1940. With the onset of the communist regime in 1948, the girls’ high school merged with the boys’, transforming the institution into a co-educational one. In 1971, another wing was built, featuring ten classrooms and three science laboratories. During the same period, the school was officially named after Spiru Haret. Workshops and a museum were established in 1973, further enriching the educational environment. The school's current name, Spiru Haret Dobrujan College, was adopted in 1996. The historic school building has been recognized as a monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. The construction date of the building is noted as 1925–1930. The bust of Spiru Haret, situated nearby, is also listed as a historical monument.

In one of the most picturesque places of the Old Town, over the Hisar Kapia, the house of the rich Plovdiv merchant Argir Hristov Kuyumdzhioglu stands out with its magnificence. Built in the distant 1847 by the master Hadzhi Georgi Stanchovski from the village of Kosovo, Asenovgrad District, it is a typical representative of the Plovdiv symmetrical Revival houses. Experts define it as a peak in the Baroque architecture in Bulgaria.The four-storey building is impressive in size, which is why it is called the 'King's Residence'. On each floor there is a large parlor (hayet). The most impressive is the oval central part of the representative reception hall on the second floor, ending with a high painted chamfer. The eastern facade of the house is 'standing' on the old Roman fortress wall and is an integral part of the Hisar Kapia ensemble. In the basement the house has its own water reservoir (cistern) and a secret exit, which leads to the Three Hills through a tunnel.Over the years the building has changed its main function several times. At the end of the 19th century, it was a girls' boarding house, and later it was a hat factory, flour warehouse, a vinegar factory, and a tobacco warehouse. In 1927, the house was proclaimed a 'folk historica; monument.'The idea of establishing an ethnographic collection and creating an ethnographic museum belongs to the great patriot Stoyu Shishkov. In 1938, at the initiative of Mayor Bozhidar Zdravkov, the most representative house of the Plovdiv Renaissance - Kuyumdzhiev's House, was turned into a Municipal House Museum. Since 1943 the house has been open for visitors.The rich exposition presents the traditional culture of Thrace, the Rhodope Mountains, and the Sredna Gora Region from the Renaissance period. Among the collections there are copper vessels, ornaments and church plates, sewn and crocheted lace, costumes from the whole Bulgarian ethnic territory, traditional and modern musical instruments, urban interior and others. Today, the unique building is a national monument of culture. The majestic facade of the house, ending with the exquisitely curved rocker form of the eaves, as well as the unique atmosphere of its yard - a green oasis among the cobbled streets of the Old Town, make this place attractive for artists of different arts. It is no accident that the museum and its yard represent one of the centers of cultural life in Plovdiv.

Baptist churches in Bulgaria are part of a global movement that originated during the Reformation in the 16th century and is associated with various societies and individuals. This movement, with over 100 million members worldwide, traces its roots to figures like John Smyth, Thomas Helwys, Roger Williams, and John Clarke. In Bulgaria, the presence of Baptists can be traced back to the 1860s. The Evangelical Baptist Church in Varna was established in 1927 and was initially located on Nish Street (formerly known as Georgi Dimitrov Boulevard). However, in 1985, the local government mandated its relocation to the outskirts of the city, resulting in the demolition of the original building. In 1989, a small group of believers emerged with a vision to bring the church back to the city center. Over the course of seven years, they relocated multiple times in search of a suitable place of worship, all while experiencing continuous growth. Eventually, in 1999, a solution presented itself when the church acquired a plot of land that remains in their possession to this day.
