Many of the dwelling-houses are still inhabited by the families whose ancestors originally built them. As a rule, they are of narrow frontage, with acutely pointed gables, the roofs garnished with an abundance of dormer windows. Though narrow, the houses often extend back from one street to another, enclosing two or three courts. The ground-stories were low and vaulted, and usually occupied as warehouses, the upper and domestic portions were elaborately carved and stuccoed. Das Nassaner Haus—the House of Nassau stands nearly opposite the church of St. Lawrence; it is considered one of the best examples of the domestic architecture of the city. The style is true German Gothic, it was built at the beginning of the fourteenth [century in the reign of the Emperor Charles IV. The angle turrets are very marked features, and together with the highpitched roof, and battlemented and richly panelled top, form an artistic termination to the somewhat tower-like building. The centre oriel window is very beautiful in design and execution. The little drinking fountain below is of modern date; it is decorated with a statuette of the Emperor Adolphus of Nassau, at whose desire, the Church of St. Lawrence was built. The fountain in front of the house is rich in sculpture and metal-work Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
