Abstract:
The author deals with official houses Nr. 3 in Jiráskova street and Nr. 61 on the
Smetana´s square in Litomyšl (East Bohemia). Both the buildings are interpreted – using
the analysis of decoration of the facades – to be the works of constructor Jiří Béba. He
functioned in Litomyšl in the last third of 18 century. According to archival sources he built
several building for local establishment (the Litomyšl estate was in possession of the counts
Waldstein-Wartenberg) – these were a church in Čistá, a parsonage in České Heřmanice,
some forester´s lodges, etc. Thanks to the formal analysis we can extend the circle of his
works – he constructed also the two above mentioned official houses, so called „Pernstein“
granary on the periphery of the town and two houses on the Brauner´s square.
