The family house of the merchant Kosta Milenković was built in the 90s of the 19th century according to the project of the famous architect Konstantin Jovanović (one of his most significant projects is the building of the National Bank of Serbia). The house is entered through an impressive carved wooden carriage gate with millwork unique to the architecture of the time, on which the owner's monogram stands out. The walls of the passage are richly decorated with stucco. A monumental stone staircase, flanked by semicircular niches and a richly carved wooden portal, led to a luxurious interior dominated by a wrought iron staircase of exceptional artistic craftsmanship.

Another masterpiece of Konstantin Jovanović is the building of the Nikola Spasić Foundation. Nikola Spasić was a Serbian merchant and philanthropist. He was president of the Belgrade Stock Exchange and a member of the board of directors of the National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia. At the beginning of the 19th century, his property in Belgrade was worth almost as much as the Nobel Foundation.

The building was constructed in 1889 as a two-story residential and commercial building. The Spasićs lived on the ground floor, and the second floor was rented to one of Belgrade's most famous residents. The overall stylistic concept of the building featured an unusual combination of two architectural expressions: a harmonious form of Italian Renaissance architecture, skillfully enriched by a decorative roof whose origins go back to the French Renaissance. The entrance from Knez Mikhailova street is especially decorative, with a corridor divided by shallow pilasters, richly decorated capitals, between which are depicted landscapes and medallions with female busts.

The house of Dimitrij Živadinović, a prominent banker, merchant and president of the Board of Directors of the Belgrade Cooperative, was built in 1904 according to the project of the famous Belgrade architect Milan Antonović as a commercial and residential building. On the ground and first floors there were premises for trading papers, and on the second - residential premises.

Milan Antonovic was an innovator and brought modernist features to the architecture of Belgrade, which at the beginning of the century bore a distinct stamp of oriental and academic style. The corridor of the building was painted by the famous decorative artist Dragutin Inkiostri, who can be considered the first interior designer in Serbia. Besides allegories and art-nouveau patterns, he also included landscapes of Venice and Dubrovnik. You can also admire his works in the house of the Vuk Foundation at Kralja Milana and in the house of Jovan Cvijić in Kopitareva gradina.

Palata Čelebonović is a representative building constructed in 1927–1929 in the style of the famous Belgrade lawyer Jakov Čelebonović. The architects of the project, among whom the most famous is Nikolai Krasnov (author of the façade), are the names that marked the third and fourth decades of the XX century in Belgrade architecture. Engineer Mihailo Belich (responsible for the building's layout) and Dutch architect Neregar (interior design) also worked on the project. The building was laid out in accordance with all the principles of the then dominant academic architecture. The facades are designed symmetrically, which is emphasized by loggias and balconies, as well as decorative separate pediments.

Thanks to the reputation that Jakov Čelebonović had in the society of interwar Belgrade as a lawyer and the president of the Jewish Community, the house was a favorite meeting place for prominent people of that time. Jakov and Johanna Čelebonović had six children, of whom Marko and Aleksa held a special place in Serbian culture and art. Marko Čelebonović is one of the most important Serbian artists of the 20th century, and Aleksa Čelebonović is a distinguished art historian, university professor, and art critic.

Since 1950, the building has housed the Museum of Applied Arts.

The building of the Belgrade Cooperative was constructed in 1905-1907 according to the design of leading architects and professors of the University of Belgrade, Andre Stevanovic and Nikola Nestorovic, and is considered one of the finest achievements of Belgrade architecture from the late 19th to the early 20th century.

The Belgrade Cooperative for Mutual Aid and Savings was founded in 1882 on the initiative of a group of Belgrade merchants with the aim of providing members of the middle class with access to favorable loans and financing economic activities. The cooperative moved into the building immediately after its completion in 1907 and remained there until its dissolution. At that time, shops were located on the ground floor of the side wings, while administrative and managerial offices were on the second and third floors. One wing housed the banking department, and the other housed the insurance department. Later, the building came under the ownership of the Geological and Geophysical Institute "Jovan Žujović," which is why Belgraders often refer to it as the "Geozavod."

The social significance of the Belgrade Cooperative determined monumentality as the only possible architectural concept. The building is a blend of different styles with an academic foundation in the Neo-Baroque style and elements of Art Nouveau. Each decorative element, wall and ceiling paintings, sculptures, molding, chandeliers, or wall appliqués, painted glass parapets in the cash hall, glass surfaces, and doors of the grand hall, attest to the uniqueness and "synthesis of the arts," which led to the designation of the Cooperative building as a monument of cultural significance.

The building underwent reconstruction in 2014. Currently, it houses the headquarters of "Belgrade on Water" and one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city, "Salon 1905."

The Aero Club building was constructed in 1934–1935 for the national aviation institution of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, designed by the Belgrade architect and pilot Vojin Simeonović. The Serbian Aero Club was founded in 1921 by Serbian aviators from the Salonika Front, with Prince Pavle Karađorđević serving as its lifelong honorary president. The organization aimed to establish a domestic aviation industry, develop air transport routes, conduct aerial studies of wildlife, survey terrain and cities, organize sports events, and involve the air police in its work. In the 1930s, the Aeroclub became a meeting place for the capital's elite, where they enjoyed socializing, entertainment, and engaged in business and political discussions.

From an architectural standpoint, the building is executed in a very modern for that time Art Deco style. The official entrance through the circular and oval hall, adorned with a luxurious spiral staircase and wrought-iron balustrade, is illuminated by stained glass and a skylight. The creation of the stained glass on the main staircase depicting 'Daedalus and Icarus' was entrusted to the artist Vasa Pomorišac. The large and small salons are decorated in English style, the hall and two 'winter gardens' (enclosed cabins) in the French style of Louis XVI, while the bar and dining room are in the modern style.

Today, the building houses the legacy of the artist Petar Dobrović. The first floor contains a banquet hall and restaurant, while apartments occupy the second to fourth floors.

Kralja Petra Street is one of the oldest streets in Belgrade. It used to be the administrative, cultural, and commercial center of the city. A part of the street from the intersection with Uzun Mirkova Street to Cara Dusana Street was called Zerek. This street unites three religions. Therefore, right across from house number 58, you will see the building of the Jewish Historical Museum, and around the corner, on Gospodar Jevremova Street, is the Bajrakli Mosque.
The Buli family, belonging to the Sephardic Jewish community, was one of the richest families in Belgrade at the beginning of the 20th century. Benzion Buli built the first modern department store in Belgrade at Kralja Petra 16, and in style it is one of the most significant examples of Serbian Art Nouveau.

The Buli family hired leading architects to build representative family houses and villas for their extensive private needs. One of the first examples of private buildings of the Buli family, built in the first decade of the 20th century, is the house of Jacques Buli (Benzion's brother) at Kralja Petra Street 58. He entrusted the design of his family house to the architect Stojan Titelbach. Behind the seemingly inconspicuous door of house number 58 hides an unimaginable variety of ornaments. The doorway will impress you with the elegance of the patterns on the tiles that decorate both the walls and the floor.

Jacques Buli was a famous Belgrade merchant and hotelier. The neighboring building at number 56 also belonged to him. The building housed hotel “Rojal”, the oldest hotel in Belgrade; before it, there were only inns in the city. The building was built in 1886, according to an incredibly bold minimalist project for its time, but since then it has been rebuilt a lot.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Belgrade still resembled a Turkish village. However, on April 19, 1867, the Turkish administrator of Belgrade, Ali Riza Pasha, handed over the keys to the city to the Serbian ruler, Prince Mihailo, and the city began to transform its appearance into a European one.

The development of Dorćol can be traced thanks to the economic strength of the prominent wine merchant family, the Jovičićs. Ilija Jovičić was a wealthy wine merchant who eventually began buying grapes and making wine himself. In addition to the winery with production buildings in the upper part of the plot, facing today's Tadeuša Košćuška Street, he also built a single-story family house at 6 Cara Dušana street. The courtyard of the winery, full of large oak barrels, was undoubtedly the main attraction of this part of Dorćol in the last decade of the 19th century.

But Jovičić didn't stop at just this winery and the single-story family house. In 1897, alongside the existing family home, he built another, larger, more beautiful, and luxurious one. Besides the Svetosavski House and the Dorćol School, there were no larger buildings in this part of the city at that time, so the Jovičić house towered above all the surrounding structures. The new two-story building with a clinker brick facade in the style of French Renaissance dominated with its height and beauty not only on Dušanova Street but throughout Dorćol. Clusters of grapes are scattered along the facade, and wine angels and sculptures of the mustached wine merchant Ilija Jovičić, sitting on a barrel above the main entrance, adorn this house even today.

The single-story family house of the Jovičićs was destroyed during the bombing on April 6, 1941, while the house numbered 4 survived both wars and, after 120 years, has been restored to its facade.
