The monumental structure on the corner of Vožda Karađorđa and Orlovića Pavla streets was built in 1931 as a branch of the State Mortgage Bank. It was designed by the Belgrade architect Vojin Mitrović. Its monumentality and strength were supposed to imbue people with trust in the state and the bank as a serious institution.

The building was designed in the spirit of French academism, with Art Deco elements. It is dominated by a frontal entry section with a semi-circular form, with four fluted pilasters, between which we find relief compositions featuring women, while the arched architrave, above the richly finished cornice, features full-size masculine figures, as symbols of the bank’s lenders and loaners. The side façade s, in contrast to the frontal one, have no distinct finish.

On the ground level, there is a window hall with columns, which is an extremely representative space, with an artificial marble finish.

The bank worked until WWII, and after the liberation, the building housed the Main Post Office, and continues to do so nowadays.

The building was reconstructed in 1997, according to the designs of the Niš architects Jovana and Jelena Mandić. On this occasion, the façade was renovated, the old wooden window frames were replaced with contemporary ones, made of contemporary material, and the interior space and the window hall were adapted.
