A late 19th-century grand residence with an inner courtyard and an outbuilding, in Pontivy, in inland Brittany. The house stands along one of the main thoroughfares in the imperial district, halfway between the historical centre and more recent shopping areas. The main residence boasts a square layout, while an extension on the inner courtyard side comes together to form an L-shape, with connections between the two on the first floor. The elevations are made of rough-hewn blocks of granite combined with ashlar door as well as window surrounds and quoins. The pared down neo-classical style main facade recalls the military calling of the town under the First Empire. Its composition draws from axial symmetry, regular arrangement of the doors as well as windows and distinct horizontal lines. On the ground floor, the entrance door is framed by two shutters that are partially louvred on their upper sections. This is also evident on the first floor, around French windows opening onto a balcony. Two ashlar stringcourses underline the different levels, while the cornices on the first floor and masonry dormers are adorned with mouldings. The third dormer boasts a balcony supported by sculpted corbels decorated with geometrical patterns. The hipped slate roof is topped by ridge tiles as well as by zinc ridge caps. On each of the roof slopes corresponding to the gutter walls, a long continuous dormer houses the second floor’s windows. The windows on this level are fitted with louvred hinged-out shutters. On the extension, there is a more sober, single-sloped roof.
