Textus Libri: Fundina est aedificium mercatorium ad usus mixtos destinatum, communitati prope aream urbis mediae proximam concinnatum. Exterior partes laterem historicum authenticum cum conservatorio vitreo, structura metallica figurarum geometricarum instructo, coniungit. Interior spatium aulam eventuum multiplicis usus, popinas, cauponas potus fervidi, cubicula conventuum atque locum arti dedicatum continet. Materiae iterum adhibitae et recyclatae usurpantur, ut lignum recuperatum, lateres et laminae cupreae in frontibus. Perfectiones interiores stucco, tabulas metallicas iterum usas, pavimenta lignea et lapidem localem inter se cohaerentem includunt. Consilium hoc proprietatem iam constitutam ad novos usus vertit, atque praeteritum cum praesenti coniungit.
