The house is located at the corner of the Koliyivshchyny square and Staroyevreyska street. The square was formed in the early Austrian period after Nowa (now Brativ Rohatyntsiv) street was laid in the place of the southern part of the dismantled city fortifications in 1775. The square between Staroyevreyska (earlier Żydowska, Wekslarska) and Brativ Rohatyntsiv (earlier Nowa) street was formed in the place of the Halezowska townhouse and a vacant parcel belonging to Kopl Tewlewicz, located near the old Żydowska  (Jewish) Tower. Originally the square was called Żydowska too; in 1871, after the conscription numbering system was replaced with the street system, it was renamed Wekslarska. In 1944 the new Soviet authorities renamed it Koliyivshchyny, obviously, with a political purpose in view. Till the early 20^th century there was a well on the square, which provided water for the whole Jewish quarter.

The corner townhouse was erected in the late 18^th century in the so-called nutzbau style. It was built on stone foundations and cellars of the two previous Renaissance townhouses, Korkesivska and that of Itsko Brotsky, coming from the 17^th century (mentioned in the 1767 tax register). The new four-storied building was the highest among the Jewish quarter houses. At the level of cellars it preserves the two-part and two-tract spatial structure typical of medieval Lviv. During its existence the owners changed and so did the townhouse appearance as a result of reconstructions performed. In particular, in 1889 the high shingle roof was replaced with a lower tin one under a project designed by Alfred Kamienobrodzki. In 1871 the house was owned by Samuel Neuwelt and co-owners. In 1902 Lifsche Grebel, the owner, Isak Grebel, a factor, Leon Schorr, an accountant, lived there.

Before the First World War, when Lviv was built up with Art Nouveau buildings, the then owner of the townhouse, Isak Grebel decided to modernize it and, in particular, its façades, which were in poor condition. In 1911 architect Jakób Scheller examined the house, pointing out a good condition of the foundations and noted that the cellars were built partially on "walls and partially on arches" and that the façades required being restored. The plan of the façades and staircase reconstruction was approved by the Magistrate on 12 August 1912. The works were completed by the end of that same year. After the repair and restoration works the architectural design of the façades acquired an Art Nouveau appearance: there were plant stucco and ceramic inserts under the windows, decorative pediments, a heraldic shield and a cartouche with the date of reconstruction "1912"; new Secession-style tile stoves were arranged in the rooms. In 1916 the building was owned by Mina Grebel and co-owners. In the 1920s it became the property of Herman Stein. Some repairs were carried out in the townhouse in 1927. In the Soviet period the house became municipal property with living quarters. According to the Lviv Region Executive Committee’s resolution number 393 dated 22 November 1988, the building was entered on the List of monuments of local significance under protection number 940. From 2010 the building is a private property of Olena Bilichenko. In 2010-2012 restoration works with the restoration of the 19^th and 20^th centuries authentic elements were carried out. A coffee house called Medelin was arranged on the ground floor.
