House No. 27:
The building was constructed as a simple «Taunerhaus» (day laborer house) at the same time as the similar house No. 29 (to the right) around 1830.
The house could only be extended at the back. There was an extension that served as a coach house, pigsty and extension of the dwelling. A narrow alleyway leads to the rear area on the south-west side.
The two-story residential part has a gable roof. The half-timbered construction, the windows and doors are original.
House No. 29:
The narrow, two-storey house is typical of the village center of Muttenz. Since the construction perimeter has not been changed for centuries, the builders could only extend the house at the back. Nothing is known about the building history of the house. It is likely to have been built as a simple «Taunerhaus» (day labourer's house) at the same time as the similar house No. 27 around 1830. The house is very narrow and deep. A storeroom with stairs and arbor followed later on the back. The windows and doors are original. The house is important as part of the ensemble of two Tauner houses Nos. 27 and 29 that were built together at the same time.
