At the beginning of the 19th century, a large building of 27 meters of facade was still there, having an interior courtyard, and it probably dated from the beginning of the 17th century. During the same century, the whole northern part, including the courtyard, was demolished and rebuilt. The southern part has undergone the same fate. The only old part that remains is a narrow median section of the plot 627, which includes an old pedestrian door overlooking the street and a small staircase just behind, with straight flights separated by a full wall. The door is under a semicircular arc. The key is protruding and carved in the shape of a truncated pyramid. The framing is decorated with crossttes and referrals that go up to the side pilasters. These pilasters support a crowning molding and a broken triangular pediment, whose crawlers frame a ball resting on a base. The door leaf is composed of two rectangular panels in the center, two quarter -circle panels forming the eardrum, and a single panel at the base, reinforced by horizontal boards. The set is assembled with round head nails and diamond -headed nails.
