They owned the house until Oct 29, 1931, when it was sold to (Místecké spořitelně) for 75000 Kč. In March/April 1932, the house was demolished and currently the lot is empty. For some reason, Filip was never accepted by František's siblings and later, even the children were only close to Johanna's family.
