It is, therefore, considered that this building was deliberately built to jut out in the street (Honmachi-suji) in the north with renjimado (window with vertical or horizontal wooden laths or bamboo) of nurigome (painting walls, etc. with thick plaster) style being installed on the northern and eastern sides of zashiki on the second floor making it an ideal place to look out for enemies and to watch movements in town.
したがって、本建物は故意に北側の道路上（本町筋）に突出していて、二階座敷北と東の両面に塗籠（ぬりごめ）の連子窓を設け、外敵の見張りあるいは町内の動向をさぐるに格好の場所であったと思われる。
