We live on Rue Principale - which translates into English as Main Street. After some searching on the internet I finally managed to find a postcard with some of the house in view. Sadly the postcard does not have a date on it.
If you look closely you can see details like how there used to be a roof window that would have been above the staircase to let in natural light. Also, at the very top of the roof there is decorative trim along the ridge. It looks like there are two very tall pine trees growing in the front garden but they too have gone since the picture was taken. It is also amazing how the street has not changed a lot over the years.
My main goal is to eventually try and find a historical picture of the front of the house in all of its glory.
I do keep searching the internet for history of the house and I managed to find and buy an original price list from the sausage factory!
