The Queen Maria’s home for children building is registered as a historical monument and located at 57 Emperor Dusan street. Here was located the children's home of Queen Maria, and a home for orphans of Srem which was financed with funds from the Queen Maria’s Foundation for raising and caring for orphans. After World War II it retains the same function but was called “Angie Rankovic." Over time, the exigency of such institutions caused the building to be used instead for various social and political organizations of Zemun, including the National technology, aviation club, Club "Archimedes” and others. Today there is a center for talents in the building which, after complete reconstruction, now really beautifies this part of town.
