Folk Architecture, 19th Century end of 20th century <BR> The memorial material of folk architecture preserves significant historical value. An architectural style has a significant formal emphasis on folk architecture (eg Baroque facade, classicist porch). Most of the residential buildings have undergone various transformations, leaving only certain parts of the building intact, which refer to the building's age and style. <BR> The characteristic feature of the folk baroque is the varied closure of the street gable made of curved lines, the plaster decoration of the door and window frame (eg Jókai u. 77.). The classicist style features date back to the early 20th century. The calm form of classicism fits in with the economic upheaval of the 19th century, which explains its significant spread. On the classicist facades, a beam-supported beam-like beam is displayed that resembles column order. In folk architecture, the dor style column order was favored. In addition to the plaster decoration, a brick-faced façade appears, representing similar style features (eg Boros Sámuel u. 46, Bocskai u. 27.). Romantic style features are not typical of the area's folk architecture. The appearance of eclecticism at the end of the 19th century coincides with the rapid development of cities. Mainly in civilian architecture; the facades of the residential buildings are equipped with more expensive decorations. The eclectic folk architecture is characterized by stone imitation, quadding made of plaster. Typical framing of windows and doors with pillars and timpanes. Characteristic of the decorations is the schematic nature. Smaller decorative elements are cast from gypsum and are ready for construction. This form is characteristic of the construction of large farmers and wealthier citizens (eg Mihály Farkas street 8, Rákóczi u. 12–14, 25). The Art Nouveau style of the 20th century also appears in folk architecture, but its local presence is not significant. <BR> The porch is the most well-known and most effective element of Hungarian folk architecture. In the vicinity of Szentes, the most common is the side porch. Its simplest form is the wooden columnar porch (Boros Sámuel u. 46.), but it is also possible to find plastered pillars built of bricks, usually with a choral section (Bocskai u. 27.). At the gates, the entrance doors are characterized by the use of covered and engraved (cassette) door wings (Bocskai Street 27, Jókai Street 77). Wrought iron houseplants show varied forms: tulips, crosses, flags, etc. (Bercsényi Street 121, Dózsa György u. 125)
