Voilà,
"datant de 1410 cette maison est la plus ancienne de Beauvais. Installée dans le centre ville, et menacée de destruction, elle fut démontée puis remontée au pied de la cathédrale, par l'association "Maisons paysannes de l'Oise. Construite en pans de bois et torchis, recouverte de tuiles plates, elle témoigne du paysage urbain qui entourait la cathédrale avant la destruction de la ville en 1940. Ce quartier se composait alors de rues étroites bordées de maisons à colombages conférant à Beauvais, cette image de cité médiévale tant appréciée des voyageurs du XIXe siècle", indique le site de l'office de tourisme de la ville.
P.S. I don't understand why I can't leave comments under certain publications.
Wonderful! Our house is a couple of years shy of 100. It's good that efforts were made to save this old house in Beauvais!
RépondreSupprimerIt looks like having a soul in it
RépondreSupprimerNice to see this historic house. The oldest houses in the US are the Taos and Acoma Pueblos.
RépondreSupprimerI hope my blog is not preventing you (or anyone) from commenting: this is a widespread problem, and no one seems to understand the cause.

This is actually a beautiful photo. I live in a house that was built in 1905. Of course over the decades it has been remolded and updated.

RépondreSupprimerThis is a wonderful photo. I adore old homes. My farmhouse was built in 1901, but I know that seems young for European countries. Thank you for linking up.
RépondreSupprimerBeautifully captured and interesting history.
