DUNAVSKA 2
There are two two-storey houses at this house number.
The first one (1.) is smaller with a narrow facade, with a trapezoid-shaped base, following the old curved street line.
It’s original construction date is unknown, but assumed to be early 1800s.
The house had sustained extensive damage in the 1849 Uprising bombing, sharing the destiny of most buildings in the city centre, and it was reconstructed in early 1850s, in the style of late-classicism.
The second one (2.) is significantly bigger, with a poligonal-shaped base and a slightly angled facade, along the old curved street line. It was built at the turn of the 18th and the 19th centuries, and it had also sustained extensive damage in the 1849 Uprising bombing. It was reconstructed 1852 by baumeister Georg Molnar, for the owner Aleksandr Milic. A cannon ball from the 1849 bombardment is built in its facade:
The house was also reconstructed in 1925, while its courtyard wing was partly demolished in 1948.
It’s owner in the first half of 20th century was the Dundjerski family.
The first house (1.) is in Neoclassical style, with three openings on the groundfloor and four on the first floor.
The second house (2) bears the features of a transition style between baroque and classicism, with a slightly angled façade. The house has the original arching vehicle gate made of natural stone.
On the ground floor, the traditional 18 and 19 century style shops are mainly preserved, with wooden shutters distributed irregularly.
