Vučo House on the Sava River
house in Serbia
Vučo House on the Sava River (Serbian: Вучина кућа на Сави, romanized: Vučina kuća na Savi) is located in 61-61a, Karađorđeva Street, Belgrade, in the territory of the city municipality of Savski venac. It was built in 1908, and it represents an immovable cultural property as a сultural monument.
Vučo's house on the Sava was erected during the flowering of "Sava settlement", by the project of the аrchitect Dimtrije T. Leko as a representative two-storey dual purpose building for the merchant Đorđe Vučo. Shops were located at the premises of the ground zone, while the upper storeys were intended for housing. In terms of space, the building is the counterpart to the opposite building of the Belgrade Cooperative.
Although the concept of the building was realized in a traditional way, using the tripartite division of facades, the processing of the main facade indicates the penetration of the new Art Nouveau architecture. Verticalism of the front facade facing the market is realized by three-part windows of the floors, which is overhung by an arched аttic with a pyramidal dome in the area of the roof. The central motif of the decorative treatment of façade is the motif of a woman's head with a shell and garlands in the semicircular tympanum field of the first floor. The side facades were enlivened by balconies of wrought iron, which are dominated by geometric and floral motifs. The ground floor was devoted to shops and the flats to representative housing.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vučo House on the Sava River” as house in Serbia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as house in Serbia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3279059. Authority coordinates are 44.813, 20.453. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1908.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
