The prominent merchant from Pirot, Hrista Jovanovic had this house built to have been his family residence. It is claimed that the construction works lasted for two years and were over on April 5th 1848, the proof of which should have been the inscription at the first floor inscribed on the door of the reception room. Since he intended to build a two-storied house Mali Rista, as his nickname was, should have got a permit from the Turkish authorities. That is how, at the outskirts of Pirot, one of the most luxorious Christian houses of the time was built. Unfortunately there are no documents about the master who built the house.
