Maison Tavel - Geneva

Maison Tavel is located on Rue du Puits-Saint-Pierre in Geneva, Switzerland.  Built in the 12th century, it is the oldest residential dwelling in the city.  The home was nearly destroyed by a fire in 1334, but was rebuilt by the wealthy Tavel family.  It served as a residence for a series of families through 1963, when it was acquired by the City of Geneva.  Since 1986 it has served as a museum housing a wealth of information on the daily life of Geneva through the centuries.
