Built in the 18th century, the spacious property once housed a cloth factory. In the past, the villagers derived their main income from agriculture, but also from crafts such as nail making or wool processing. The base of the building is grouted with a purple-colored mortar that is characteristic of the region. This so-called "molèye" mortar consists of a mixture of lime and iron filings, probably from the polishing of gun barrels.

This large building marks the corner of the village square with its presence. The building expresses its identity through its volume and the many high windows divided over the three floors of the two street walls. The spacious house was built in the 18th century and once housed a cloth factory.

In the village of Soiron you can still see houses that were once cloth factories in the 18th century. These are buildings that once housed cloth factories and are testament to the region's wool industry.
