Inside Hitler's house in Leonding

Adolf Hitler lived between 1898 and 1904 in Leonding, Austria. this post card dated 1938 show living room with big flower arrangement hanging on wall, also over the table, an open book, may be a visitors signature book.
I wonder if the furniture and house ornaments are the same when Hitler as young was living in this house. He lived here until 1904, and Nazis took again the house in 1938, so there is a 34 years lap, time very long . this is a very rare shot of the interior of this house.

Another postcard from 1938, different angle of the photo.
Looks like an earlier one - less pictures on the wall?

Interesting postcards, i made a visit to the little town a while back, but did not see the inside of the house.
Here are some pictures it took:

The house is now owned by the graveyard which is straight across the road. It is no longer in use as a house but as the graveyard office.
Therefore comparing pictures would be quiet different.

This would be the house where they were living when Edmund died in 1900? I remember that young Adolf was apparently seen sitting on the fence at night, staring up at the stars, after attending his brother's funeral.
