House ref. no. 139


House ref. no. 139 (B. Smetana Street) is a modern corner building which was erected in 1911 on the site of an original Gothic building later reconstructed in Renaissance style and then rebuilt by Jakub Auguston in 1731.

During reconstruction, the splendid Baroque portal was transferred to the State Research Library in B. Smetana Street (ul. B. Smetany).

In the Hussite period the building belonged to Katerina Pabiankova and Jan Zizka lived here 1419-1420. Up to 1835 the regional authorities were based here.
