Our plan is, yes, to make it a functional building again. We are only at the first step and thats conserving the building, while we make all the planning and research for funding.

Can you believe that, on the several occasions I spent some time in Herculane, I never once was aware of the existence of such an architectural treasure ? Part of my family is from Dr.Tr.Severin, I will ask them if they know about it. They used to spend nice leisurely week-ends in Herculane when they were young, during the communist period. Surely they will remember what the building used to look like back then. Next time we are back in Romania, I will try and learn more about it and about your project. Romania has an astounding historical and architectural patrimony, and it is breath of fresh air to read about a group of young people willing to help preserve and valorise it. Too many people there do not realise how precious and beautiful it is. You may want to add a link in this article pointing to the homepage of your project, so as to direct people to the right place for donations.

They only need a lousy 100.000 Euros to get on with the project. That is NOT a lot of money at all for a building like this. A Ferrari costs more than twice as much! There is a link to the Facebook page in the introduction and they can be e-mailed at herculaneproject.ro
