Sequences from the Village Museum. Cherelush Household (1971)

M. Păunescu · 1971

The farmstead in Cherelș village, Arad County, dating from the end of the eighteenth century, consisting of the house, the stables and the “buccanvas” (pantry), was transferred to the Village Museum in 1965. The house is fenced with a fence of braided shades, strewn with pigeon shreds. The house, the last owner of which was Herlo Ion, known as “house master and farmer,” is built on a stone foundation over which is placed massive sole and walls made of oak beams, glued with earth and shed both on the outside and inside. The roof, in two waters, has the reed cover placed in steps on the wooden snake. The same constructive system also has the annexes (stables and dumplings). The plan of the house consists of the median tinda, with two floors from which open the fire holes of the blind stoves from the “parade” room (the one to the road) and the room used daily. .
