The Latin inscription
between the upper pair of windows reads, “Aedilus hisce procul fur
ignis et avidus absit at que Dei benedictio que adsit!” This wish
for God’s blessing and His protection against thieves, fire and the
avaricious was much needed. The house experienced the ups and downs
of its owners, often changed hands, and saw a lot of trade. Its
first owner was burgess Václav Veverka in 1551.
