Ieud, Jud. Maramures

The house of Ion Pleș from Ieud, dating in 1890, was rebuilt in the Village Museum in 1936. coming from a village of the Ieudișor Valley, it is representative for the Maramureş People's Architecture of the 19th century. Next to the house, in the yard you can see a series of annexes that illustrate the main occupations in the area, the raising of cattle and agriculture: a two -stable stables, a "chorfa" (mobile roof) and a "college" (cote for pigs).
The entrance to the house is made by a monumental gate made of oak wood, with richly ornamental pillars, which has a double door from fir board for access to cattle and workshops, as well as a small gate for humans. Near the gate, there is a bench protected by a shingle roof, which performed the function of socialization. Also here, we find a fountain.
The house is built on a low river stone foundation, with a porch ("shingles") on three sides with puree and the walls of fir beams joined in the "swallow tail" corners. The roof with very fast slopes and covers from the tree shingle has a beautiful ridge of "Ciocârlani" (the last row of shingle raised in the form of shrubs or silhouettes).
In the plane, the house comprises four rooms: a median tent without ceiling or windows, the guest room ("big house") to the right, the living room ("small house") and a shirt on the left. In the "Mare House", it draws attention to the oven with generous dimensions, raised on a wooden base and the richness of wool fabrics painted in natural colors. The carved furniture, the objects made of wood, the icons painted on the glass and the glazed ceramic vessels attest to both the flourishing state of the owner and its status within the community. In the plane, the house includes a median tent, large house (room), house (room) and chamber.
