The detached single-family home was built in 1930 according to the design of the architects Theiß and Jaksch, around the same time as the high-rise building on Herrengasse.
It is one of the first single-family homes subsidized by the Vienna housing promotion program that emerged mainly from 1930 onwards.
The building is listed as a monument under the name of its first owner (Urwalek).
