Gyula Pártos
1845–1916
Born Gyula (Julius) Puntzmann in Apatin (today in Serbia), Gyula Pártos studied at the Budapest Polytechnic under Antal Szkalnitzky before finishing his degree in Berlin. He Magyarized his name to Pártos and opened his architecture firm in 1870. Pártos worked with his former schoolmate, Ödön Lechner, on a number of projects, notably Drechsler Palace in Budapest (1886), the Rudolf cavalry barracks in Kecskemét (1887), and the Museum of Applied Arts. In 1896, Pártos married Vittorina Bartolucci, an opera singer, and began working on more projects independently.
