- Krsmanović’s house at Terzije was built in 1885. The building was designed by architect Jovan Ilkić. It was built in the style of academism, as a residential house for the merchant Marko O. Markovic.
- The Krsmanović brothers bought the house in 1898 and later, it became the property of Aleksa Krsmanović. After Aleksa’s death in 1914, the house and property were bequeathed to the Serbian people, through the A. Krsmanović endowment.
- Since, the Royal Palace was badly damaged during the First World War, between 1918 and 1922, this house served as the residence of Aleksandar Karađorđević and the Court of the Kingdom of Serbia.
- On December 1, 1918, the document that created the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was signed in this house.
