Dům Ecků č. p. 510
Původně renesanční dům z 16. století byl v první polovině 18. století barokizován. V letech 1645-1665 jej vlastnil Adam Eck, truhlář a řezbář obrazů. Průčelí je zdobeno v 1. a 2. patře jemnou štukaturou - suprafenestry (mušle a akantové kartuše). Pod nadokenními zalomenými římsami v 1. patře jsou plastiky hlav (pravděpodobně od P. A. Felsnera), nesoucí středovou konzolu. V přízemí jsou lunetové renesanční klenby.

The Eck building no. 510
An originally Renaissance building from the 16th century that was converted to Baroque in the first half of the 18th century. It was owned between 1645 and 1665 by Adam Eck, joiner and picture carver. The frontage is decorated on the 1st and 2nd floors with delicate stucco work - overwindows (scallops and acanthus cartouche) - and there are sculptures of heads (probably by P. A. Felsner) bearing the central corbel beneath the curved moulding above the windows on the 1st floor. Renaissance lunette vaulting can be found on the ground floor.
Erected by Cheb Eger and Karlovarský.
