History
The facade rises over three storeys. Dormers with wing ornaments are pierced in the roof space. The storeys are separated from one another by a body of mouldings. The doors of the ground floor present imposing blocks of 18th-century wrought ironwork. The wrought ironwork with unique ornamental motif is present throughout the central bay of this facade. It decorates the balconies of the first and second storeys.
