A house on the edge of City Park
The history of the City Park dates back to 1794, but at that time there was only a forest and a stinking swamp. It was then that the idea arose that Pest should have a public park to which people go out on weekends. The city was still very far from here at the time, anyone who wanted to reach the woods had to ride a long carriage on sand dunes. The development of the park then took place during the time of palatine Joseph, as he envisioned urban planning in the Italian style, so he thought that there were no trees in the city. If, on the other hand, there are no trees, you need public parks near the city. There was a lot of work with the Lig, and by the 1840s it had reached the point where it became the favorite and most crowded excursion destination for the people of Pest. It is hard to imagine, but at that time Andrássy út did not exist, the entrance to the Liget was not here, but a little further, at the continuation of Király utca. Traces of this can still be seen today, behind today's 56th monument there is a huge circle, unfortunately only truncated. But the two inner circles still exist today, for about a hundred years everyone came to the Grove from here.
As the Grove became more popular, so did the problems. By the 1860s, when the lake was formed and the Zoo opened, the grove became so popular that regular traffic jams developed on King Street over the weekends, people screamed irritably at each other and could not be seen from the dust. (Király utca was the most densely populated street at the time.) It was then that the city government decided to plan other entrances to Városliget, so the horse-drawn railway from Keleti railway station and later Andrássy út were built. By the mid-1880s, Városliget had become a metropolitan park with illuminated walkways and fountains.

The area was mapped between 1793 and 1945 (1775 - 1793 - 1823 - 1833 - 1867 - 1872 - 1873 - 1878 - 1895 - 1908- 1912 - 1937 - 1945)
Andrassy Street
1870 - Metropolitan Public Works Council - Blueprint of the avenue to be opened from Váczi út to Városliget:
The Andrássy út Built between 1872 and 1876, its complete construction was completed in 1885. It is 2313 m long and varies in width from 45 m to 34 m through the three sections. The style of most of the buildings is historicism, dominated by Neo-Renaissance style features.

The road was initially covered with wooden cubes, sparing the horses' hooves. It was renovated with a cobblestone pavement in preparation for the millennium celebration, along with the deepening of the underground railway tunnel. (The Millennium Underground Railway was put into service on May 2, 1896.)
When planning the Avenue, the closure of the route towards Városliget was established by creating two large plots, respectively. imagined by the construction of characteristic closing villa buildings. On the odd side, 4157 hrsz. on this plot was built in 1872-73 the Bellevue cottage, then a nightclub.

The large plot and the villa building built in the middle of it allowed the plot to be divided in the mid-1890s. That's when Andrássy út 127 came. and 129. plots.
Ecce Homo
An exhibition space was built on the shared plot of the villa, which served as a musical consolation called Bellevue, after the Millennium, in the part facing Heroes' Square.
In 1896, Munkácsy presented the completed Ecce Homó, the third piece of the Christ trilogy, in Budapest and took part in the millennium celebrations. For the picture, he painted three studies for the Ecce homo, the final version was exhibited in the pavilion erected at the end of Andrássy út. In the summer, 315 thousand people were interested in the picture, and after its presentation, a series of ceremonies were organized.
