THE OWNERS
The building on East 82nd Street was purchased in 1966 by three not-for-profit organizations: the American Hungarian Library and Historical Society; the Szechenyi Istvan Society; and the Hungarian Catholic League of America. The third of these original co-owners was replaced by the custody of St. John Capistran (the Hungarian Franciscans) in 1989 and then by the The Hungarian Scouts' Association in Exteris in 1993.
Both the Historical Society and the Szechenyi Society run series of lectures in the Hungarian House, the former on topics related mostly to history and literature, the later chiefly to economics and business. The Historical Society also maintains the reference and circulation library. The three co-owners bear ultimate responsibility for the financial well-being of the Hungarian House. |
