The House located in Ve Smečkách 26/594, Prague 1 is not just one of the houses nearby the Wenceslav square. The House was built in 1931 by the Building Cooperative of the Ženský klub český (Czech Women`s Club) based on an agreement of March 16, 1928. The project adjusted to needs of the women`s community life was designed free of charge by the Club`s member, a first Czech woman architect Milada Petříková-Pavlíková. The construction was financed from a collections raised among Czech women and a loan at the Úrazová pojišťovna (Accident Insurance Company) which was later repaid from the activities of the Czech Women`s Club.
