Originally a Gothic house was rebuilt in early Baroque style in 1618 (the portal was preserved), its current appearance is from mid-18th century. The house sign of three crossed violins in a Baroque frame is from the beginning of the 18th century and reminds of three families of violin-makers who owned the house – the most famous owner was the well known violin-maker T. Edlinger (1662-1729), the founder of Prague violin-making school. A reconstruction of the house took place in 1965 and there is a wine tavern on the ground floor now.

=========================================================
Puvodne gotický dum byl rane barokne prestaven roku 1618 (zachoval se portál), dnešní podoba je z poloviny 18. století. Domovní znamení z pocátku 18. století, troje zkrížené houslicky v barokní rámu, upomíná na tri houslarské rodiny, které dum postupne vlastnily – nejznámejším majitelem byl svetove proslulý houslar T. Edlinger (1662–1729), zakladatel pražské houslarské školy. Rekonstrukce domu probehla v roce 1965, v prízemí byla zrízena vinárna.
