The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1808, la ville fut érigée en chef-lieu de département par Napoléon. De nouveaux bâtiments furent alors bâtis, d'autres agrandis, en utilisant la terre cuite pour l'ornementation. Cette maison a été construite entre 1830-1850. Sur la Grand'Rue, la façade s'ouvre au premier étage par des fenêtres en plein cintre, encadrées de pilastres corinthiens. Balcon en fonte néo-gothique. Au-dessus, frise formée de rinceaux. Au-dessus des fenêtres du second étage court une frise formée de muffles de lions, de serpents et de feuilles de chêne.

In 1808, the town was erected as capital of a department by Napoleon. New buildings were then constructed, others enlarged, using terracotta for ornamentation. This house was constructed between 1830-1850. On the Grand'Rue, the façade opens on the first storey by round-arch windows, framed by Corinthian pilasters. Neo-Gothic cast-iron balcony. Above, a frieze formed of scrollwork. Above the windows of the second storey runs a frieze formed of lion masks, serpents and oak leaves.
