Bourgeois house (Saint-Paul, Grand Fond plant, 2014)

A large bourgeois house. View looking north
3059

This levelled building with hydraulic mortar floors is located some forty metres from the plant. Although archive documents tell us the building was used as accommodation for the distillery watchman from 1878, finds including luxury items such as champagne bottles and a cufflink suggest it was a large bourgeois house.
