[FR] A l’époque, d’importants travaux ont été entrepris pour regrouper cet ensemble d’habitations jusqu’alors juxtaposées. La bâtisse s’étend aujourd’hui de la place d’Estaing à l’angle de la rue Bosc. Le style gothique flamboyant de la maison est reconnaissable à plusieurs reprises.
Au sommet de la tour, on remarque une sculpture représentant un vigneron, datant du 20e siècle. Celle-ci rappelle les échanges commerciaux d’antan avec le proche vignoble de Marcillac.
