Four houses on Old Town Square west from Železná Street, and closed off to the south by the narrow Kožná Street, burnt down during the May Uprising. House no. 483–484/I, where the houses At the Golden Camel and At the Golden Unicorn used to stand, is now a late Neo-Classical building from 1858 after plans by Jan Bělský.
Of the entire row, the house At the Red Fox, on the far right in the picture, is the most valuable in terms of its architecture – it was probably rebuilt in 1694 by Jean Baptist Mathey, the French architect, who also designed St Francis Church at the foot of Charles Bridge, the Archbishop Palace, the Tuscany Palace and Troja chateau.
Just like on the more southeastern side of the square, Sudek was taking pictures of the houses during the peak of the day. The pictures show Sudek's effort to document the extent of the damage throughout the square.
