During the reconstruction in 1995 - 1998, the stone lining of the late Gothic rectangular window was discovered and restored on the facade, which underlines the richness of the construction. After the big fire on October 1, 1811 the house was badly damaged and then completely rebuilt into a classical style; At that time, a broken staircase with a rest area on the first floor was created.

Since 1998, the corner of the house has been decorated with forged home signs - a Jinan leaf created by the blacksmith Karl Meloun.
