Description

DWELLING HOUSE from 1790, which incorporates some seventeenth-century components in the rear building. Front facade twin gable with the left adjoining property, dated 1790 on the frieze (the word ANNO on the frieze of the adjoining property). Ground floor nineteenth-century shopfront in traditional eighteenth-nineteenth-century style with large two-light window, expressing the residential function, beside the front door. String course, later T-windows in the old frames of the two-light. On the upper storey likewise T-windows, while the adjoining property still has six-pane sash windows; on the second storey the original glazing pattern with twenty-pane sash windows. Strong principal beam that springs forward somewhat at the ends. Interior hallway with white marble tiles, front room with panel wainscoting, panel shutters and door, ceiling ornament and wooden chimney stack in austere forms, on the breast a mirror and a whitstone; small central ornament in the ceiling, all dating from around 1800. On the first floor stucco ceiling with central ornament. Stairs to the second storey from the second half of the nineteenth century, above that an older spiral stair. The spiral stair probably comes from a seventeenth-century predecessor of the house: in the rear building there also remain an older cellar beam layer and a facade fragment, namely a finely brickwork basket arch above the cellar entrance. Higher up the rear facade was revised in the nineteenth century. Behind, above the cellar, a chamber with wooden chimney stack with curved hearth frame in late Louis XIV forms, stucco ceiling with nineteenth-century ornaments. Floor beam layers eighteenth-century. Interior restored in 1992. Property of architectural-historical significance.
