The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison a été démolie. Le rez-de-chaussée était occupé par une salle carrée, divisée en quatre travées voûtées sur croisées d'ogives, doubleaux et formerets, de section rectangulaire à angles abattus par un chanfrein. Les retombées centrales se faisaient sur une colonne cylindrique sans chapiteau. Les huit supports engagés étaient des piles semi-octogonales. Sous cette salle étaient superposés deux étages de caves voûtées.

This house has been demolished. The ground floor was occupied by a square hall, divided into four bays vaulted on rib vaults, transverse ribs and formeret ribs, of rectangular section with angles cut by a chamfer. The central springer points were made on a cylindrical column without capital. The eight engaged supports were semi-octagonal piers. Beneath this hall were superimposed two storeys of barrel vaults.
