Stanković House in Zagreb Study of its Architectural Evolution

Uglovna trokatnica, poznata kao kuća ili palača Stanković (Trg bana J. Jelačića 1 / Ilica 2), po svome urbanistički eksponiranom položaju i povijesnoj slojevitosti pripada konzervatorski najzanimljivijim i najstarijim spomeničkim građevinama u zagrebačkom Donjem gradu. Utvrđene su četiri glavne razvojne faze kuće: prvotna prizemnica Krajačić-Erdödy (poč. 18. st.), jednokatnica Jelačić (kraj 18. st., dokumentirana po Felbingeru), dvokatnica Stanković (poslije 1833., vjerojatno Cragnolini) i trokatnica Stanković (Bolléova adaptacija poslije 1882.).The three-storey corner building also known as Stanković House (Palace) situated on Ban Jelačić square 1 / Ilica 2 belongs to the oldest and most interesting buildings of Central Zagreb in terms of its prominent urban position and multiple historical layers. The house has gone through four main development phases: the original single-storey Krajačić-Erdödy House (early 18th c.), two-storey Jelačić House (late 18th c., documented by Felbinger), three-storey Stanković House (after 1833, probably Cragnolini) and four-storey Stanković House (Bollé’s redesign after 1882)
