Renner Brothers Leather and Shoe Factory - Workers' Housing
Body
“In 1923, the Renner Brothers leather factory in Cluj (the predecessor of today’s Clujana Leather and Shoe Factory) announced a competition for the development of a workers’ housing estate and for the design of housing types. Károly Kós also won prizes in this competition, but here as well no construction ultimately took place.”
