The owner of the burgher house No. 10 was from 1583 the important New England burgher Petr Scheitenhauer from Fulnek, who rebuilt and extended the whole house in the same year. In 1562, 1570 and 1576, he also held the office of mayor. The Scheitenhauers sold the house when they bought a new house in 1602 on the Nový Jičín square.
