On the right: La Brouette (Dutch: Den Cruywagen; "The Wheelbarrow")
Former property of the Corporation of Greasers since the 15th century, built in stone in 1644. The facade partly resisted the bombardment of 1695 and was rebuilt in 1696–97 probably by Jan Cosijn. Decorated with a statue of Saint Giles (patron saint of greasers), it was restored in 1894–1913. The left door opened into a now disappeared alleyway that led onto the Rue au Beurre.

On the left: Le Sac (Dutch: Den Sack; "The Bag")
Former property of the Corporation of Carpenters, whose tools decorate the facade since the 15th century. Built in stone in 1644, partly spared by the bombardment, it was rebuilt (from the third floor up) and restored (lower levels and interior) in 1697 by the carpenter Antoine Pastorana [fr]. The sculptures from this reconstruction are the work of Peter van Dievoet and Laurent Merkaert.The facade was restored in 1854–1858 by the City of Brussels' architect, Victor Jamaer [fr], and again in 1907–1913 by the architect Jean Segers
