The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Maison d'angle, à pans de bois à croisillons, garnis de briquetage. Il y a onze rangées de croisillons par étage. Chacun de ces étages est en encorbellement et saillant. L'encorbellement du premier est supporté par des consoles de pierre faites de trois corbeaux en quart de rond superposés. A l'étage supérieur, les consoles sont en bois et placées comme des jambes de force. La charpente a été modifiée, ainsi que la pente et son bris. Elle est sur pannes et non sur chevron faisant ferme. Plusieurs fenêtres sont à croisées de bois. L'une d'entre elles a conservé son appui sculpté et mouluré.

Corner house with timber framing with cross-bracing, filled with brick. There are eleven rows of cross-bracing per storey. Each of these storeys is corbelled and projecting. The corbelling of the first storey is supported by stone consoles made of three quarter-round corbels superimposed. On the upper storey, the consoles are in wood and placed like bracing struts. The roof structure has been modified, as well as its pitch and its break. It is on purlins and not on rafters forming trusses. Several windows have wooden cross-frames. One of them has retained its sculpted and moulded sill.
