Trade academy was founded in 1895 and moved in a newly built building. School moved from this building in 1983, when the School of Electrical engineering "Nikola Tesla" was founded and moved in. Since then, Economics school works in a new building.
Today
Building of Trade academy is now used by Electricalengineering school. One half of the building, towards Subotićeva street and National museum building, was last time renovated in 1982. Other half of the building is in a very bad condition. Sgraffito decoration is only visible from Subotićeva street.
