It is situated in the area encompassed by Mije Stanimirovića Square and Dimitrija Tucovića and Vojvode Putnika streets. It was built in a yard, and its volume is retreated in respect to the alignment line.  It consists of a ground level and two floors. It was built for the needs of the engineers’ barracks at the turn of the 20^th century, according to the designs of the Belgrade architect Danilo Vladisavljević, an architect of the Army Ministry of Serbia of the time. King Aleksandar Obrenović and his father, King Milan were present at the cornerstone laying ceremony in 1899.

The exterior leaves an impression of massive architecture, symbolizing the traditional form of a fortification building with an elevated dominant middle tower in the axis of the main façade tract facing the square, as well as with the corner towers with saw-tooth ramparts and rustic cornices around the entire building.

In terms of its architectonic characteristics, the engineers’ barracks building is a typical representative of Romanticism in Serbian architecture.

It still serves its original function, but there are plans for it to soon change owners and be converted into an administrative and educational building.
