 Summary:
 With the development of industry, capitalism and entrepreneurship, by the end of 18th century and especially during 19th century developed society of entrepreneurs, clerks and intellectuals. Thanks to the needs of a new formed civil society, especially clerks and intellectuals, as well as aristocracy eager to move and live in the cities, new type of the house came in to being – tenement house, the house that was built not only for dwelling of it’s owners but for profit. This type of the house was new comparing to it’s predecessors not in style, but in it’s function. With the occurrence of a tenement house, houses became goods, means of entrepreneurship. Appart from middleclass, intelectuals, clerks and aristocracy, also craftsmans and workers were renting appartements in tenement houses. Tenement palace was representative example of these type of the houses. Origin of the tenement house can be found in civic houses of middleages and italian renaissance and baroque palaces. Building of multistory houses in Subotica started as late as at the beginning of 19th Century, including public buildings, except churches. Under influence from Europe through Wiena and Budapest, most of the twostory houses built in Subotica in the 19th Century were tenement. Development of tenement houses in Subotica can be classified in three periods. In first there were built tenement houses in the style of neo -classicism, with traditional techniques and building materials and with the lines of interconnected multyfunctional rooms, without bathrooms in the appartemets. Only few buildings from that period can be discovered today in Subotica, that is why it was necessary to pay special attention to these valuable architectural heriatge which in the same time illustrates beggining of building multystory houses in town.
