[Leica] Garret Island House C. 1750-60

[Philippe]

What’s not to like there :-)

Just a question: do you happen to know if that house was moved at some point in the not so distant past? 

I notice that concrete building blocks serve as pillars, and I wouldn’t think their « invention » is as old as the house itself. The bricks though, attest of much older established.

What makes me think this is that Alice’s Grandma had one such wooden farm that was moved a couple of villages further when she got married. All pieces were numbered which eased the reconstruction work. 

Also, wooden frame construction was long banned in some areas of France. People were thus de facto forbidden to move places when the local lord was too, grumpy? if not worse.
