It was named for the last known owner of the building and is thought to be the oldest house in Aveyron. The unique appearance of the structure is due to the larger dimensions of the upper floors, which look large compared to the smaller footprint of the first floor. The building was dated after 1478 and is presumed to be the oldest half-timbered house in the department of Aveyron. The name of the home comes from the last occupant of the home: an artist named Jeanne. The reason for the unusual design of the building has been attributed to the local tax laws at the time of construction. In Aveyron, the taxes of a home were calculated by the amount of land that the first floor occupied. It is thought that the original owner wanted to pay less tax, and built the upper floors wider and larger than the ground floor.
