The name is set in Hungarian first with a Serbian Cyrillic version under it and no German at all, which puts the card under Hungarian administration before 1918. Two tram tracks are already laid in the setts, so this is after the lines opened in 1911. The ground outside is still being made up, with heaps of earth, a horse and cart, workmen with barrows and planks laid over the mud, and the shop openings at street level are dark and unfitted, so the building had only just gone up.
About this place
The Adamović palace stands on Trg mladenaca in Novi Sad, the square that carried the name of Woodrow Wilson between the wars. Aleksandar Saša Adamović, a Novi Sad wine grower and merchant who had studied wine making in Klosterneuburg and Montpellier and ran the Fruškogorac sparkling wine works, had it built in 1911 as a combined business and residential building. It belongs to the small group of Secession buildings in the city and was designed by the architects Géza Kocka and Gyula Wagner. Postcards of it are captioned Adamovits palota and dated 1912 to 1915, while Serbian sources give 1911 as the year of building.
