description
The exact construction date of the building is not recorded. However, it is believed that it was built in the late 19th century. There are two shops on the ground floor, which divide the facade asymmetrically. These are now combined into one unit, which can still be entered via both entrance doors. The shop has large shop windows that are still in their original state today. Between the shop windows, a pillar separates the formerly separated areas from one another. The facade of the upper floor of the two-story building consists of polished ashlar and is symmetrical. Twin windows were installed on the outside and a single window towards the center. The building ends with a slate-covered gable roof with two dormers . In the center there is a gable with a gable roof, which ends with the facade and supports one of the chimneys.
