=========================================================
Na míste Vrtbovského paláce stály v minulosti dva meštanské domy. Jeden vystavel již pred rokem 1591 Oldrich Avostalis. Oldrich Avostális byl významnou umeleckou osobnosti rudolfínské Prahy. Pravdepodobne v roce 1570 jej císar Maxmilián II. jmenoval císarským stavitelem a stejne tak jako za dalšího panovníka, císare Rudolfa II., mu byly sverovány významné stavební úpravy na Pražském hrade. O tom, jak si pocínal úspešne, svedcí okolnost, že v roce 1586 byl císarem Rudolfem II. povýšen do rytírského stavu.
