The house was on the first floor: A large kitchen, an anteroom and two other rooms, one of which was furnished as a private salon. The other room served as a common bedroom for the parents and children. In the house stood the Voparterny piano that father Mahler had bought for little Gustav.

The family lived here from 1860-1872 (12 years). The flnancial situation of Bernard Mahler (1827-1889) gradually improved to the point where, in november of 1872, he was able to buy the neighboring house: House Gustav Mahler Jihlava 1872-1889 (Znojemska street No. 264-6-1088), into which the family moved. Bernard also moved the tavern and the still-room to this location.

The foundations of the house go back to the 16th century. During the reconstruction of the 19th century, a second floor was most likely added, along with an interesting facade, and It Is also from this period that the front doors originate. In 1960, a memorial plaque was placed on the house during the celebrations of the one-hundredth anniversary of Mahler’s birth, sculptor Milan Knobloch. The house underwent extensive renovations in 2008-2009.
