This one-story house, located between the buildings of the district court and the high school is one of the rare, well-preserved examples of old Balkan vernacular architecture in Niš. It was built by the middle of 19^th century in the district called Stambol kapija (Istanbul gate). The Niš merchant Đoka Mišić, after whom the house was named, bought the house from Šamzi Hanuma in 1878, after the liberation from the Turks.

The house is symmetrical, with an open verandah above the cellar, with a hall in the middle, a guest room, amadžik (bathroom) on the left and mutvak (kitchen) on the right side. It has well-preserved timber ceilings, doors with rings, windows with iron bars, a dolap (shelved wardrobe), with floors made of floor-boards and brick, with closed hearths and udžerke (openings) above them.

The reconstruction of the building was finished in 1974, according to the design of Danica Janić, and it is now used as a residential building.
