The gabled former farmhouse belongs to the group of houses that indicate an older type of construction in the sense of a farmstead. In fact, this group of houses can be found on the map of geometer Georg Friedrich Meyer as early as 1678. The core of the house probably dates from the 17th century. It belongs to the multi-purpose house type, where living quarters and the barn/stable part are combined under a continuous roof. In front of the barn, the roof has been brought forward as a shelter allowing people to work in the dry. The entrance with the year 1856 and the initials J.J. stems from a renovation.
The farmhouse does not have the residential entrance through the grange, as is usual in Muttenz. It is possible that the barn entrance was given up when the house was renovated. In any case, it is an interesting building because of its architectural history.
