Historique
Maison en pierre de taille présentant, sur l'angle, un pan abattu dans lequel deux petites fenêtres ont été aménagées. Des saillies successives rachètent le pan abattu jusqu'à la toiture, sous laquelle émerge un personnage à mi-corps. Au-dessus, le rampant se termine par un dragon. Deux lucarnes dans la toiture sont surmontées de frontons triangulaires dont les rampants sont ornés de choux frisés et terminés par des bustes de personnages encapuchonnés. La porte ouvrant le rez-de-chaussée est encadrée de moulures prismatiques qui se développent en jambages saillants surmontés de pinacles. Des choux frisés ornent l'accolade qui déroule sa courbe entre ces pinacles.

History
House in ashlar stone presenting, at the corner, a cut-away section in which two small windows have been fitted. Successive projections remedy the cut-away section up to the roof, under which emerges a figure in half-body. Above, the slope ends with a dragon. Two dormers in the roof are surmounted by triangular pediments whose slopes are decorated with curled cabbages and terminated by busts of hooded figures. The door opening at ground level is framed by prismatic mouldings which develop into projecting jambs surmounted by pinnacles. Curled cabbages decorate the accolade which unfolds its curve between these pinnacles.
