City centre. A colour card. A yellow car crosses the wide junction in front of a white modern block, with pedestrians on the crossing and a tall modern lamp standard at the left.
About this place
The building on this postcard is captioned in both Cyrillic and Latin as the palace of the Chamber of Trade, Industry and Crafts in Novi Sad, the body representing the region's merchants, manufacturers and craftsmen. It is a modernist block of three storeys, plainly walled and almost without ornament, with a tall entrance tower carrying a carved roundel and a heavy cantilevered canopy over a door reached by a broad flight of steps. The saplings newly planted along the pavement place the view in the 1930s, not long after the building went up. The architect and the exact year of construction could not be established from the sources consulted.
