The house of Dr. Archibald Rice

The residence incorporates vernacular architectural elements with traditional Serbian building methods, featuring distinctive local materials and construction techniques characteristic of the 1920s period.

The house, constructed in 1921, belonged to Dr. Archibald Reiss, a Swiss forensic scientist who investigated war crimes against Serbia during World War I.

The structure stands as a memorial to Dr. Reiss's contributions to Serbian society, including the establishment of the first police academy in the country.

The house, situated at Vojvode Misica Boulevard 73 in Belgrade, maintains its original structural elements and architectural features from the early 20th century.

Dr. Reiss requested his heart be buried separately from his body, with the organ interred at Kajmakcalan hill while his remains rest in Topcider cemetery.
