The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Une des plus anciennes maisons de ce quartier, présentant des caractéristiques particulières et intéressantes. Les solives du plancher de l'étage soutiennent seules le large encorbellement sur toute la façade. Le rez-de-chaussée servit certainement d'atelier à un artisan. La lucarne de type rural rend l'idée de faubourg qu'était à l'origine ce quartier.

History
One of the oldest houses in this neighbourhood, presenting particular and interesting characteristics. The floor joists of the first floor alone support the large overhang across the entire façade. The ground floor certainly served as a workshop for a craftsman. The dormer of rural type conveys the idea of suburb that this neighbourhood originally was.
