The museum is located on Grand Street next to the Public Square and opens for visits during scheduled hours. The interior spaces are accessible and showcase authentic details from different periods of domestic life.
The facade displays a distinctive polychrome brick pattern in Flemish bond style that was carefully laid by skilled workers during construction. This decorative detail shows the craftsmanship that went into building homes of that era.
