he building was built on piles, because previously the bed of the Begeja creek was located in that area. It is not known who built it, but it is known that in one period in the 19th century, it was owned by Dr. Pavle Demko. In the 19th century, the hotel "Pešta" was located in the building, and in the hotel room number 6, in 1872, the first weekly newspaper "Torontal" began its work.
