21. A big master house of 1880.


These houses which are big and large and alone in a garden with a gatter, which have an architecture which loks a little like a castle are called "Maison de maître" (Master Houses). These houses where those of the bosses of the industry. Here in Pont were no great industry at this time but a few middle enterprises which had to do with transformation of iron. Nowadays in these sort of houses live doctors or lawyers, what we call the "professions libérales", the free standing jobs.
I find the electric lines are not very esthetical. It is the case on many photos. They are always in corners where a beautiful view is to do...
