The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le rez-de-chaussée de la façade nord de cette maison comprend une poutre de bois sur toute sa longueur, qui supporte les têtes moulurées de poutres soutenant l'encorbellement du premier étage. Ce premier étage est construit en hourdis (blocage de briques et de pierres) et pans de bois disposés en décharges diagonales croisées. Le milieu est occupé par une fenêtre à encadrement de bois, sous laquelle les pans de bois forment deux croix de Saint-André. Le second étage est également en encorbellement. Les chevrons qui le soutiennent ont leurs têtes masquées par la sablière. Les pans de bois sont disposés en écharpes entre poteaux et sablière.

The ground floor of the north facade of this house comprises a wooden beam over its entire length, which supports the moulded heads of beams supporting the corbel of the first storey. This first storey is constructed in rubble (blocking of bricks and stones) and timber framing arranged in crossed diagonal struts. The middle is occupied by a window with wooden frame, beneath which the timber framing forms two Saint Andrew's crosses. The second storey is also corbelled. The rafters which support it have their heads masked by the timber plate. The timber framing is arranged in struts between posts and timber plate.
