Description edit
Old Cooperative House of Ranković Family in Draževac is typical of houses built in Šumadija[3] and central Serbia. It is a rural cooperative house[4] built by a wealthy family in the first half of the 19th century.[2]
Description edit
The house has a square foundation of 15 x 15 m, built using oak beams placed upon a stone base. The walls are brick and rubble construction and the roof is tiled. The front porch is deep with a four-arch arcade, and is protected by a wooden half-wall added later. Inside, four rooms are arranged around a central hall.[2] The windows are aligned in a marked horizontal pattern. The large roof eaves are artistically designed.[5]
The house was moved to its present location near the primary school in Draževac in the 1980s.[2]
