Inscription.  Czech:
Vznikla ve 14. století z řadového měšťanského domu, současně se stavbou kaple, jejíž gotická okna se zachovala ve dvorním průčelí. K dolnímu domu byl směrem jižním připojen další dům, nazývaný Prostřední radnice. V 18. století k zamýšlené přestavbě nedošlo a oba domy byly v 19. století zcela přestavěny. V letech 1969–1975 byla provedena jejich rekonstrukce péčí Městského národního výboru v Chebu podle projektu SÚRPMO Praha (ak. arch. Vlad. Fojtla a ak. sochařů Jal. Moravcových), která je navrátila původnímu stavu. Stavbu provedl Okresní stavební podnik v Chebu.

Fojtl and academic sculptors Jal. Moravec), which returned them to their original condition. The work was carried out by the District Construction Company in Cheb.
