The name is given twice, in Cyrillic and in Latin, with no Hungarian version at all, which is the two-script format used in the Kingdom after 1918. There is no motor traffic in the street, which keeps the picture in the earlier part of that span. A small old pantiled cottage still survives against the flank of the classical building.
About this place
The Officers' House stands on the Belgrade Quay along the Danube in Novi Sad. The army decided to build it in 1923 to a design by Jurij Nikolajevič Šreter, a Russian émigré military engineer; fire damaged the works in 1924, and Aleksandar Šumaher and Mihailo Plavec reworked the project so that the building was completed in 1925 and 1926. It was put up in a classicist manner modelled on the villas of Odesa, with Doric columns, a broad terrace and a triangular pediment. The ceremonial hall on the upper floor held balls, formal dinners and officers' gatherings, and the building is known today as the Dom vojske, the Army House.
