This building was constructed (circa 1780) in cut stone with bosses.
The ground floor is comprised of two openings. The main entrance as well as the
door to the wine store are in the form of a semi-circle.
An impost (windowed part fixed above the entrance) in wrought iron dates from the
construction of the building. A string-course moulding separates the first floor openings.
Tables (those parts underneath the windows projecting from the wall) are located underneath the windows of the three
levels, those on the 2nd and 3rd floors are ornamental.
All the windows have guardrails in wrought
iron. This material first appeared during the seventeenth century and brought architectural
fame to Bordeaux in the eighteenth century for its guardrails, balconies
ramps, stairways, grills etc.
