A memorial plaque says that the Commander-in-Chief of the Latvian Army during the War of Independence, General Jānis Balodis (1881-1965), lived in this house (there were officers' houses on Oficieru Street). The memorial plaque with the following text was unveiled in the interwar period – on September 29, 1936, when the Latvian Army was stationed in the Daugavpils Fortress.

It was removed after 1940, but was reinstalled in 2020 by the Daugavpils Heritage association.
