The caption is Hungarian only, which places the card before 1918, and it identifies the school by confession, an Israelite elementary school, with the street name set in the older double-t spelling. The school is the long single-storey range under the tiled roof, and the sign over its arched entrance is hidden behind bare branches. The neo-Gothic spire and a second church tower close the view along the street, which puts this at the inner end of Futoška looking back towards the town centre.
About this place
Futoška street is the old road running west out of Novi Sad toward Futog, the settlement some 7 km away that Hungarian sources call Futak and German ones Alt-Futok. It was once a single long street reaching from the town centre out to the Futog road, and its inner end became Jevrejska street when the boulevard now called Bulevar Mihajla Pupina was cut through; in the 1930s the whole length, Jevrejska included, was renamed for King Peter II. The building at Futoška 17, put up in 1912 as a Hungarian gymnasium, still stands and houses the Mihajlo Pupin electrical engineering school. The Futoška market on the street remains one of the busiest in the city.
