Description

The house was build in 1801 on the site of several old tenement houses from the 16th-17th centuries. From the side of the square, there were the tenement houses of the Hendzitzky and Melchior-Wolfovich families, the one on the corner with Trybunalska (Szewska) Street – Standłowska; from the side of Trybunalska Street – the tenement house of the Regulichów and Adamkiewicz families. The Standłowska tenement house was purchased by the royal secretary Dominik Wilczek in 1684, then it passed into other hands, and from the 18th century. For a whole century, it was again the property of this family. It was here that the first Austrian military commandant's office and the residence of the commander-in-chief were located in 1773–1800. The new tenement house, built in 1801, changed owners over the next century until it was purchased by the watchmaker and jeweler Abraham Zipper (c. 1895). During the disassembly of building No. 32, the old entrance of the Vilchekovska tenement house with carved stone columns was discovered.
