Abstract

The paper presents and analyses previously unpublished and
unused design documentation for the erection of the building
of the Workers’ Society of Pula at No. 3 Clivo Santo Stefano,
now No. 1 Uspon svetog Stjepana. The building was erected in
1883 and was allocated in the early twentieth century to the
Municipal Museum—predecessor to the Archaeological Museum
of Istria, and to the Municipal Library. From 1930 it housed
a state-run organisation for maternal and child welfare (the
Federazione provinciale dell’Opera Nazionale per la Protezione
della Maternità e dell’Infanzia - Aiuto materno). Following the
demolition of the building in 1937 a new building was raised
at the site for maternal and infant public welfare services (the
Casa della Madre e del Bambino). It is now home to the Rin
Tin Tin kindergarten.
