Romania / Sibiu / Piața Mică / Small Square, 17
 listed building / architectural heritage, 16th century construction, 19th century construction

Built in the 16th century, facade remodeled during the 19th century.
Because of the slope, in Piața Mică (Small Square) the house appears to have only one floor, with access through the courtyard while the inferior floor is accessible only from the Ocnei Street stairway.
Interior: The rooms of the basement have barrel vaults. Only two rooms of the ground floor have the same barrel vaulted ceilings while the rest have flat roofs plastered on ceiling wood joists.
At the beginning of the 20th century the building was bought by Heinrich Reschner, who opened at the ground floor a haberdashery and musical instruments shop. After the death of the owner, the house is bought in 1921 by Frieda Klein, who rented the commercial space to T. Dordea, then to Ioan Şandru for a manufactured textiles shop. Between the two world wars in the building was a restaurant (owner Nedelea).
