Încă îmi mai amintesc, deși cam estompat, de prăvălioarele micuțe din Pasajul Villacrosse, ca și de faptul că acoperișul a fost renovat în perioada lui Ceaușescu, cănd arhitecții noștri au reușit să realizeze câteva restaurări spectaculoase în timp ce cartiere întregi erau demolate după bunul plac al dictatorului, cel care pretindea că se pricepe la orice...Exista și un banc, pentru că îl chema Nicolaie i s-a spus N.Priceputul.

”Cele doua pasaje, Villacrosse si Macca, pornesc din doua puncte apropiate de pe Calea Victoriei si se unesc la iesirea in Strada Eugeniu Carada, in dreptul Bancii Nationale. Pasajele au fost inaugurate in 1891. Arhitect a fost Felix Xenopol. Este interesanta istoria constructiei, dar si istoria numelor.
Initial se dorise construirea unui singur pasaj larg.Trebuiau insa demolate doua cladiri: Hanul Vilacrosse si Hotelul Pescht. Hanul a fost demolat, insa Pesht a refuzat sa isi vanda cladirea, care a ramas si azi intre cele doua pasaje. Asa ca s-a adoptat solutia aceasta in potcoava, cu doua ramuri care se unesc la iesire.
Pasajul construit in locul Hanului Vilacrosse i-a pastrat numele. Celalalt pasaj a fost botezat Macca: Mihalache Macca era cumnatul lui Vilacrosse, despre care voi vorbi imediat.
Proprietarul hanului demolat fusese si el arhitect: Xavier Vilacrosse. Era catalan, isi facuse studiile in Franta si venise la Bucuresti ca arhitect sef al orasului. In 1843 se casatorise cu o romanca si primise in zestre hanul, care fusese construit prin veacul al optsprezecelea. Cumnatul sau, Mihalache Macca, primise si el in zestre o parte din teren.”

Pasajul Macca
Pasajul Villacrosse
”Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse is a fork-shaped, yellow glass covered arcaded street in central Bucharest, Romania. Câmpineanu Inn (Romanian: Hanul Câmpineanu) once stood in the place nowadays occupied by the passage.
After the Chief Architect of Bucharest, Xavier Vilacrosse (a Catalan architect who had followed the French school), married the daughter of the inn owner (1843), the couple received the inn as a wedding present, renaming it with the architect's name. Toward the end of 19th century it was demolished, being replaced by a two-stories-high, ornate structure, in the style of Western passages.
The two narrow streets making up a two-tined, fork-like shape were covered with a glass roof, allowing the entry of natural light while providing shelter from the rain. The ground floor was meant for shops, while the rooms on the first floor were for rent. One branch of the passage was called Vilacrosse, while the other one was called Macca, after Mihalache Macca, the builder's brother-in-law. The two-tined end opens onto Calea Victoriei, one of Bucharest's main avenues; the other end opens toward the National Bank in the historic Lipscani district.
Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse hosted the first Stock Exchange House of Bucharest, before a larger and more appropriate structure was built. Between 1950 and 1990 the passage was called Pasajul Bijuteria ("Jewelry Store Passage"), but the initial name was restored afterwards.”
