What's in a Prague street name

Pod Terebkou (‘Under Terebka’) was built in 1935.

Once upon a time, this area was either a vineyard or just a regular field, but, in 1841, a homestead was built here.

Later in the century, it was purchased by Rudolf Tereba (1851-1904), an architect who had travelled around Italy, later settling in Prague and building a villa. He also had a house build on Karlovo náměstí (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/01/prague-2-day-164-karlovo-namesti/ – also relevant to yesterday’s street) in 1894.

The homestead and the villa are both long gone, having been demolished in 1940. We’ll get to the street where the homestead was actually located tomorrow.
