The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le propriétaire de la maison est connu depuis 1609. La façade paraît dater du début du 16e siècle. L'élévation de cette façade comprend un rez-de-chaussée, occupé par des boutiques, deux grands étages et un demi-étage sous comble. Chacun des deux grands étages et éclairé par trois fenêtres dont les axes sont décalés. Les fenêtres du premier étage ont été rétrécies au 19e siècle mais ont conservé leur ancien encadrement intérieur. Les meneaux ont disparu mais le prolongement latéral de leurs moulures en atteste l'existence. Au deuxième étage, les fenêtres sont plus petites et de largeur inégale. Les moulures saillantes reposent sur des culs de lampe sculptés (bustes, têtes, anges ailés).

The owner of the house has been known since 1609. The facade appears to date from the beginning of the 16th century. The elevation of this facade comprises a ground floor, occupied by shops, two large storeys and a half-storey under roof space. Each of the two large storeys is lit by three windows whose axes are offset. The windows of the first storey were narrowed in the 19th century but have preserved their old interior frame. The mullions have disappeared but the lateral extension of their mouldings attests to their existence. On the second storey, the windows are smaller and of unequal width. The projecting mouldings rest on carved corbels (busts, heads, winged angels).
