A traction maintenance depot

address: Street Milutin Barač
Period: Historicism
Kind: Immovable material heritage
Century: 20
Year: 1905
Purpose: for railway

After the construction of the railway and the main railway station, it was necessary to make a series of accompanying facilities, above all, a traction maintenance depot. A locomotive depot was made not far from the main railway station, in the former Industrijska Street. The architect and the exact time of construction are unknown, but it can be assumed that the storage was built just before World War I. It is a semi-circular ground floor building, covered by a sloping roof. Inside the building there are twenty-two tracks for garaging locomotives. The rear façade of the building, facing today’s Milutina Barača Street, is marked by simple wall decorations, segmented by pilasters of cut stone, among which there are high openings with a typical historicist decorative finish.
