A little to the west and across the road [from Wal-7 Unknown], there is another house, the first floor walls of which are cobblestone. The upper floors are framed. Quoins are gray limestone blocks of fairly uniform size. Stones in the front wall are all oval red stones of variable size, laid 5 rows to the quoin. The sides have similar stones of various colors also in 5 rows per quoin. In the back, there are much larger stones, with only 3 rows per quoin. Horizontal mortar is drawn to an edge, pyramids of mortar cut off truncate at the bottom to fill the vertical space between the stones. Window lintels are split blocks of gray limestone.
