The Romanian Athenaeum, the most beautiful building in Bucharest was built between 1886 and 1889, at the initiative of an homonymous society, which launched a donation campaign with a famous slogan: "Give 1 leu for the Athenaeum!". The money was raised in a few years and the construction became one of the reasons why Bucharest received the over-name of Little Paris. It was not the only building of its kind in the city at that time designed by a French architect, or inspired by Parisian architecture. Also on Calea Victoriei, just a few years before, the same Albert Galleron had built the splendid building of the National Bank of Romania, as the headquarters of a private bank, which declared bankruptcy on the day of receiving the bill for the sumptuous building.
