Sažetak
Until the beginning of the 20th century two neighbouring houses on the main square in the Citadel had an independent and separate architectural development, although both had been founded already at the beginning of the 18th century.
The house no.5 is a residential-business building which was restored and rebuilt by several generations of well-known mercantile families from Osijek. At the beginning of the 18th century there were two sheds in that place: One owned by Simon Sunkić (Sunckisch, Sunckh) along today's Franjevačka street and the other one facing the main square was owned by the first Osijek judge D.F. Vesentina (Wesentin) .
Both buildings were purchased by Đuro Nikolantin (Georgius Nicolantin, Nikolantić) in 1712 who put them together in the unique and complete estate. After 1774 a tradesman Ilija Lekić (Elias Lekich) came to possession of the house and at the beginning of the 19th century Antun Goriupp took possession of it. The family Goriupp (from 1841 with an allegation de Kamjonka) had owned the building until 1918 when it was sold to Franjo and Marija Krvarić. From the beginning of the 20th century the part of the house was taken on lease by town authorities and in 1960 it was
nationalized and given to the Museum of Slavonia.
A neighbouring one-storeyed building at number 6 was built for two purposes - for Chamber direction (Cameral-direktion) and for Municipality (townhall and town authorities of Chamber community of the Inner Town). Building blueprints from the 18th century are not known but most probably the whole complex was built gradually and it didn't have the same number of storeys. After 1786 and the uniting of three chamber municipalities into a single administration unit with headquarters in the Citadel, town offices in the building had to be increased and at the same time it meant a probable moving out of the chamber inspection which occured for certain after 1809 and eventually ranked Osijek as Royal Borough. On account of administration increase, the first plans known to us for the townhall were made in 1812 together with a building blueprint of an additional storey. The next blueprints from 1835 showed the building in present day's size with a north built wing and a space structure practically identical to the present one - only the differences in staircase position were larger, which was the result of connecting it with the neighbouring building.
