The house on the right side of the postcard, whose mezzanine above the entrance door is covered by chestnut foliage, is № 10 Kalvenes Street.

In the second half of the 18th century, this plot of land belonged to Johann Christoph Friedrich Wersing, from whom it was bought by the Town of Aizpute for 400 Talers in 1796 and immediately sold to Johann Heinrich Polikowsky, a Prussian hat maker, a Zunft Master, for 450 Talers. In 1811, Karl Ferdinand Friedrich Beitler, Secretary of the Piltene Land Collegium (Landrat), also lived here in Polikowsky House.

In 1828, the property was bought for 700 Silver Rubles by Markus Krüger.

In the Town Plan of 1830, this plot of land was no longer built, but in 1856, when the property was inherited by Markus Krüger's sons Abraham and Hirsch Krüger, there was a building worth 1,000 Rubles, which Kriegers sold to the horse dealer Itzig Hirschhorn in 1860 for 1,200 Rubles.

In 1863, Hirschhorn sold the house to Ephraim Dannemann. Then there was a residential house with 4 rooms with 21 inhabitants. In 1879, there was an Asaroff small items store and a Kasel Itzigson tailor's workshop.

In 1904 the property rights were secured to the heirs of the deceased Ephraim Dannemann, from whom it was bought by Moses Taube in 1914, but in 1932 his heirs became the owners.

As late as the autumn of 1941, six Taubes lived here.

In the 1920s, butcher Mausche Goldinger worked here.

Nowadays - the property of Aizpute Pentecostal Church.
