The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La façade de cette maison portait autrefois une enseigne décorée d'un cerisier sculpté, ayant donné son nom à la rue. La façade au sud est élevée d'un étage en pierre de taille, et d'un pignon en bois et hourdis. Le premier étage est percé de deux fenêtres rectangulaires, percées chacune sous un arc de décharge en tiers point mouluré.

The façade of this house formerly bore a sign decorated with a sculpted cherry tree, which gave its name to the street. The south façade is raised by one storey in dressed stone, and a gable in timber and nogging. The first storey is pierced by two rectangular windows, each pierced under a moulded pointed-arch relieving arch.
