Brothers Krstic home was built in the late 19th century as a representative of a residential buildings. As there was no saved data of the architect, it was assumed, based on some elements of decoration, that the author of the project could be the architect Јован Илкић.

Petar and Branko Krstic began their careers by winning projects for the Yugoslav pavilion at the exhibition in Philadelphia in 1925, and then they were awarded for the decision about build-up Saint Sava Temple in 1927. Brothers belonged to a group of architects of the modern direction, and their common work includes dozens of designed and constructed buildings, including the palace, of the Agrarian Bank building, Church of St. Mark, and Igumans palace.
