The crest with an anchor in the central part of the building represents the founder of the building and its involvement in maritime trade.

In 1844 he moved to Zemun where he opened a law office and became a member of the Serbian national-ecclesiastical committee. Memories that he wrote down while he lived in the house with the sundial were later issued by Matica Srpska.
