Originally a mill or a dovecote from the time of the ladies of Montmartre Abbey in the 17th century, the building became part of the Clignancourt porcelain factory in the 18th century. The Café Hotel Restaurant "A la Tourelle" was established there at the very beginning of the 19th century. Maurice Utrillo painted this funny building many times.
