The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison a été édifiée au début du 19e siècle, probablement entre 1830 et 1848, lors du plein essor du compagnonnage. La lucarne à lien gitard et lien croche formant tenaille, avec un assemblage à mi-bois, présente une grande simplicité. Les deux berceaux constitués possèdent des inscriptions et symboles compagnonniques dans leurs vides : U.V.G.T. indiquant le rite d'un compagnon du Devoir ou Soubise, et la maxime Dieu protège les arts.

This house was built in the early 19th century, probably between 1830 and 1848, during the height of the compagnonnage movement. The dormer with gitard link and hook link forming a pincer, with a half-lap joint, displays great simplicity. The two roof structures present consist of inscriptions and compagnonnage symbols in their voids: U.V.G.T. indicating the rite of a companion of the Devoir or Soubise, and the maxim God protects the arts.
