Description
In the past, this district was the predilection place for dyers, who took advantage of the waters of the Agau canal for their activity. In 1770, a street expansion project was set up. We have known the owner of the house since 1671. The balcony on the first floor consists of a central right and two rounded returns. The right section has a large panel in the center, with a circular medallion bearing the CA monogram, above the date 1771. The interior decoration consists of C and scrolls. The small side pilasters show a typical drawing of an urn, accentuated by a foliage motif in hatching and prolonged by a corrugated rod. The lateral panels, rounded, display C -plays, bent without symmetry. These same elements are fully found on the balcony on the second floor. The panels of the balconies each rest on three wrought iron consoles.
