What is the importance of Stolarsky’s house in the novel, A Gambler’s Anatomy?

Stolarsky’s house only serves as the setting for one scene in the novel, but that scene is the climactic final in-person confrontation between the Bruno and Stolarsky. Stolarsky’s large, expensive house stands as yet another testament to Stolarsky’s wealth, and even though Bruno is able to smash a window and break in, he is unable to rescue Madchen from Stolarsky, who has apparently brought her under his influence. Therefore, Stolarsky’s house also represents the center of Stolarsky’s influence.
