Origin and history

The building located on the 1st ascent Saint-Barthélémy, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon, is a monument partially listed as Historic Monuments. Only its northern facade was protected by a ministerial decree dated 7 July 1936, highlighting its architectural or historical interest in the city. The building is part of the urban landscape of the Lyon Peninsula, an area marked by a high density of heritage buildings.

The location of this building, between the slopes of the Croix-Rousse and the Old Lyons, reflects the urban evolution of the city, where the old buildings are alongside more modern spaces. Although the available sources do not specify its original use or its detailed history, its inscription reflects the desire to preserve representative elements of the Lyon building. The buildings of this time, often linked to bourgeois housing or craft activities, played a central role in the economic and social life of Lyon, a historic city of silk and commerce.
