For the first time the burgher house appeared in written sources in 1542. The first owners of the burgher house No. 17 were the families of the Stan and Cholewa. At the beginning of the 17th century, the house was called Felklowska, after the name of Wawrzyniec Felkiel, a doctor of medicine. Then, it belonged to the families of Żędzian and Konopnica, and in the 18 th century to the Armenian family of Muratowicz.
In 1834, the property was sold again and the new owner was Tadeusz Wieniawski, the father of the composers Józef and Henryk. Several decades later, the burgher house became a property of Franciszek Żyszkiewicz. In 1884, he gave the building to the Charity Society, which owned it until the outbreak of World War II. During the air raids the building was ruined. After the war, it became a property of the State Treasury. It was reconstructed only in 1949 according to the design of engineer Ignacy Kędzierski.
