The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La maison a été bâtie au début du 18e siècle. Son appellation est le souvenir d'un marbrier qui y avait installé son atelier au milieu du 19e siècle. L'édifice se compose d'un bâtiment en forme de L, constitué par un rez-de-chaussée et deux étages. Les façades sont percées de larges baies, avec piédroits et linteaux retaillés de bossages. Entre le rez-de-chaussée et le premier étage règne un cordon décoré d'un motif sculpté rappelant des rois de coeur. Un autre cordon formant corniche sépare le premier du second étage qui forme attique. Les baies de cet étage sont couronnées par un fronton droit et ouvert. Autrefois, le vide de chaque fronton était garni d'un vase orné d'un bouquet de fleurs.

History
The house was built in the early 18th century. Its name is the memory of a marble worker who had set up his workshop there in the middle of the 19th century. The building consists of an L-shaped building, made up of a ground floor and two storeys. The façades are pierced with large openings, with jambs and lintels retooled with rustication. Between the ground floor and the first storey runs a course decorated with a sculpted motif reminiscent of hearts. Another course forming a cornice separates the first from the second storey which forms an attic. The openings of this storey are crowned by a straight and open pediment. Formerly, the void of each pediment was filled with a vase adorned with a bouquet of flowers.
