The Art Nouveau house No. 74 was built on the site of the former ground-floor house of the barber Jaroslav Šín. It was built as a two-storey house with an attic space in 1904-1905 by the District Credit Union in Benešov according to the project of local builder Marcel Dusil. The façade with rich floral patterns is dominated by a relief of the emblem of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the façade is topped with sculptures of two fireflies. The house also housed the offices of the district council, which met in today's Šíma Hall. The District Museum was already active on the ground floor between 1950 and 1962 and returned in 1992, when it opened an exhibition on the history of Benešov and its surroundings on the first floor. In 2002, it added an exhibition on the second floor dedicated to the history of the Benesov military garrison.
