The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Première mention de la Prade au 14e siècle (1363). Grange datée de 1768, représentant un jalon important dans l'architecture vernaculaire de Haute Auvergne. La maison Est porte la date de 1868, date de la première surélévation. La seconde surélévation fut effectuée aux environs de 1940. L'ensemble comprend la grange-étable, le pigeonnier, deux maisons d'habitation accolées, une porcherie, un poulailler et un hangar. Le pigeonnier, qui est le bâtiment le plus intéressant, a la forme d'une tour hexagonale sur piliers. Le moulin a disparu, ainsi qu'une maison située en contrebas au sud. Permanence des volumes depuis 1840, malgré quelques transformations dans les couvertures.
