The house on the corner of Cara Dušana and Pop Luke Lazarevića streets belonged to the famous Niš bakery owner Aleksandar Mita Jančić, a descendant of an old family of bakers, which had been around since the Turkish era of Niš. The house was built in 1927, and the architect of the house is not known.

The building has three shops on the ground level, which changed owners, but not their basic function. The residential area on the upper floor has lavish floral and geometrical ornaments on the façade and a corner tower which originally rose above the main entrance of the building. Another, smaller tower, again with a tin sheet roof, was built on the other side of the house, facing Dušanova Street. In terms of style, the house belongs to the European traditionalist architecture of the 1930’s. At the time of construction, this house, and the house of Viden Živković, represented the first large one-story houses in the merchant street, with ground-level shops. Together with their projecting corner towers, placed one opposite the other, they form a “gate” of a kind in Cara Dušana Street.

This building still retains its identical designed function.
