   The Savamala Quarter
 

 

After the construction of the railway station, several hotels were opened in its vicinity. In 1887, at the beginning of Nemanjina Street, the Orient hotel was opened — a second class hotel with 18 rooms and a café Little Orient on the ground floor. Due to the shape of the plot, the hotel had an elongated shape form with a long façade towards Nemanjina Street. The main façade had modest classicist decorative elements, chambranles around windows and emphasised cornices between the storeys and below the roof.


The period between the two world wars was significant for the development of Brankova Street and it included the construction of a bridge. For this, many houses had to be pulled down and multi-storey buildings were put in their place. After the construction of the bridge to Zemun, a tram line number 14 went over it. The entrance to the tram was on back platform, and the exit on the front platform. The ticket cost from 1 to 3 dinars, depending on the length of a ride. Smoking was allowed on the tram, but only on the back platform.
