# Dr Đura Jovanović's modernist house

The narrow three-storey façade of a modernist house on Ilije Ognjanovića Street is deliberately asymmetric, with a large rectangular projecting bay, recessed balconies and broad horizontal openings that set it sharply apart from the older building beside it. The central entrance keeps a reduced form of the traditional Pannonian carriage passage, its sides clad in marble. Đorđe Tabaković designed the house in 1932 for the Novi Sad paediatrician Dr Đura Jovanović, known in the city as Kinder Đura, who lived here and ran his practice in the building. Jovanović became the first specialist in children's medicine in Vojvodina and had a leading part in establishing organised paediatric care and the children's hospital in Novi Sad. University of Novi Sad architectural material reproduces this same photograph and captions it Stambena zgrada, Ilije Ognjanovića 9. The house survives at that address.
