The clock tower and slender spire named in the title stand together down the street, with a shop sign reading Arch Nandor legible at right. A long handwritten message fills the sky, closing with a note about an address on the first floor. The heading renders the street's Hungarian name into Serbian, a form close to Lajosa Kosuta ulica beside Kossuth Lajos-utca, adapted from the Hungarian rather than from the street's present unrelated name, and the city is given here as Нови Сад, Novi Sad, alongside Ujvidék.
About this place
The street running off Liberty Square, named for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and carrying the name still. The archive's cards look along it toward the spire of the Name of Mary Church, with the tram in the roadway and shop awnings down the left side. Under the occupation of 1941 to 1944 the street carried Adolf Hitler’s name, and the archive’s wartime photograph of it is filed here under that period. Under socialist Yugoslavia the street carried the name Ulica narodnih heroja, which a separate street about 120 m south-west carries today, so a caption using that name has to be dated before it is placed. The pin is the OpenStreetMap line of the street itself.
