原来的结构是由三层楼组成的。最低的两层楼适合居住，而阁楼则用作粮仓。这种利用空间的方式是当时乡村民居的一个典型特征，其特点是中央楼梯陡峭，房间发展对称。

The original structure was made up of three floors. The lowest two floors were habitable, whereas the attic was used as a granary. This way of using the space is a typical feature of rural dwellings of that time, characterized by a steep central staircase and a symmetric development of the rooms.

这座被遗弃了几年的房子完全没有屋顶：地板的所有木质部分都被完全损坏了，砖墙也被破坏了。

The house, abandoned for several years, totally lacked the roofing: all the wooden parts of the floors were completely damaged and also the masonry walls were compromised.
