description
The exact time of construction of the building is not recorded, so that only the earlier 19th century can be given as the construction period. Architecturally, they correspond to the traditional Scottish style. Several simple lattice windows are set along the front of the two-story building. The facades of the houses are plastered using the traditional Harling technique. All three buildings end with slate roofs .
