| It is the most important work of the Viennese architect of Serbian origin Konstantin A. Jovanović. The building was constructed in two phases: the first corner part against Cara Lazara Street was built in 1888-1889 and the annex in 1922-1925. This annexation is perceived primarily in the interior, because the main entrance originally was at the corner, and now it is in the middle of the building. A complete unity of the style based on neorenaissance was accomplished in the exterior. Richly decorated counter-hall is one of the most representative Belgrade interiors, and then young Belgrade painter Moša Pijade, later a politician and statesman, participated in illustrating the ceiling. |
