The Irving house with the next-door house that had belonged to a Mrs. Kozáková, which Jan had bought for his parents so that they would not need to squeeze into one room. The gardens then were joined. In the first half of the 1950’s, the secret police forced Jan to sell the house so that it would not be forcibly confiscated without any claim to compensation because he had his own place to live and as a class enemy, he was not allowed to own a property. So, it was bought by the family of a Mr. Čech, whose daughter later married Vlastimil Petržílek and who lived there until her death in 2015. Together, they raised another generation there.
