The construction of Robevi's original house was completed on April 15, 1827, and this is indicated by an inscription in Greek on a marble slab embedded in the store in the yard. It is a traditional Ottoman Turkish house architecture. This famous Ohrid merchant family lived in the house for 35 years when between 1861 and 1862 a famous criminal from Ohrid Ustref Beg burnt it to the ground. Two years later, between 1863 and 1864, the house was rebuilt. It was divided in two parts: left and right.
Konstantin Robev lived in the left part of the house and his brother
Atanas Robev in the right part. The main builder was Todor Petkov who built the house from scratch. The family lived in the newly built house until 1900 when they moved to
Bitola and used the house as a summer residence. From 1913 till 1919 in the time of the
Balkan Wars and the First World War, the house hosted
Serbian soldiers. Some damages were found in the house after they left, part of the carvings were taken to
Niš in Serbia. The house has been protected as a cultural-historic museum of
North Macedonia since the Second World War ended. The last reconstruction of this marvelous building was made in the 1990s. Currently it serves as exposition space for the archaeological treasures of modern
Macedonia on the first floor, the second is a memorial floor dedicated to the Robevi family and the third or the upper floor functions as a residence. ==The Archeological Museum of Ohrid==
