Alcove room with its decoration on the ground floor, the vaulted room of the basement (Box G 395): classification by order of 28 July 1972; Facades and roofs, including the street outdoor porch with its wrought iron ramp (Box G 395): inscription by order of 28 July 1972
Origin and history
The building at 31 rue du Colonel-Renand in Lamarche (Vosges) is an 18th-century emblematic building typical of the civil architecture of this period in the region. It is distinguished by its protected elements, including an alcove room with its original decoration on the ground floor and a vaulted room in the basement, both classified by decree of 28 July 1972. These features illustrate the refinement of the bourgeois interiors of the era, where the art of living and comfort began to develop in provincial cities such as Lamarche, then integrated into Lorraine.
The facades and roofs of the building, as well as its exterior porch adorned with a wrought iron ramp, were also inscribed on the same date for their heritage value. These exterior elements reflect 18th century aesthetic codes, where meticulous symmetry and ornamentation played a central role. Although the sources do not specify the initial use of the building, its conservation reflects the importance attached to the heritage built in the East, an area marked by both French and Germanic influences.
The location of the building, indicated with average accuracy (level 5/10), suggests that it is part of the historical urban fabric of Lamarche, a municipality of Vosges attached to the Borough of Epinal. Its exact address, confirmed by the Mérimée and Monumentum bases, makes it a landmark for lovers of ancient architecture. No information is available on its access to the public, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation, suggesting a mainly residential or private vocation.
