The first half of the 19th century(conjectured)

At the intersection of Tomisuji street and west Hayashi-cho street in Jinaimachi town.

History (Origin):
The family found a kimono merchant (draper) in 1907. The residence of the Ueno family is located to the west of the residence of the Nakamura family across the Tomisuji street and it was originally owned by the branch family (Shintaku) of the Nakamura family, but then was taken over by the Ueno family. The old arch roof tile has the "three-layered-lozenge crest" of the Nakamura family engraved. 

Features of the buildings
The height of ceiling of the second floor is low, and the Mushikomado which literally means an insect cage window in Japanese is characterized by the shape of the tree nail type. (Mokkou-style)  It seems that the building was re-built in the late Tokugawa period.
