The Győri House (also known as the Pelikán Courtyard), built with a Zopf-style facade and a vaulted, arcaded courtyard, served as lodgings for actors and musicians performing in Fehérvár. Jancsi undoubtedly visited the place on numerous occasions during his younger, less famous days.

From 1790 until 1873, theatrical performances were held in the house's auditorium, featuring legendary figures such as Mrs. Déry (Déryné), Mrs. Kántor (Kántorné), and Róza Laborfalvi, as commemorated by the plaque on the building's facade. Petőfi also performed here as a travelling actor under the pseudonym Borostyán. Later in life, Rigó Jancsi stayed in far more upscale and prestigious hotels with Clara. Jancsi earned a great deal of money, and the princess possessed a substantial fortune as well. During their love affair, which lasted around 10 years, they reportedly squandered 8 million dollars on their lavish lifestyle. Eventually, the romance cooled, the money ran out, and they divorced.
