During the First Czechoslovak Republic, the Czech biblical work society, which was devoted to publishing prints and Holy scriptures, was located here. After World War II, the building was used by the Bible School for Education and Training of Preachers of the Union of Czech Brethren. Its activity was terminated by the Communist regime in the early 1950s. Since Velvet revolution (1989) building serves as a Prayer House of the Church of Brethren (Sbor Církve bratrské). Later, community clubrooms were built in the attic of the building, which are used for meetings of children and youth, for creative evenings for women and for other meetings.
