Origin and history

The Anthony house and warehouse, located in Arc-lès-Gray in Haute-Saône, is an architectural complex built during the first half of the 18th century. This complex, typical of the buildings related to the trade and industry of the period, consists of several bodies of buildings organized around inner courtyards, supplemented by gardens, vegetable gardens and orchards. The construction took place in two phases: the first, around 1729, concerned the body on the street, while the second, shortly before the Revolution, completed the whole. Originally, they served as a residence and warehouse for Jean-Baptiste Anthony, trading in metallurgical products, grains and wines, reflecting the dynamic economic activity of the region.

In the 19th century, part of the site was renovated to accommodate the Dagot foundry, created in 1889 by Alphonse Dagot. This factory, which specializes in the production of mechanical parts, cast iron stoves and agricultural equipment, experienced a notable growth, employing up to 60 workers in 1918. During the First World War, it contributed to the war effort by making d The foundry ceased operations in 1971, after decades of diversified production, including industrial pumps and machine tool parts. Today, some of the buildings house a wine trader, while other spaces have been taken over by local companies.

The whole, including the buildings, the paved courtyard and its 18th century grid, has been listed as historical monuments since 4 June 2007. This classification underscores the heritage value of the site, witness to the economic and industrial developments of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, from the modern era to the industrial revolution. The partial preservation of the facilities of the Dagot foundry, such as the light wells and offices of the early twentieth century, enriches this historical dimension. The site remains a private property, partially accessible, illustrating the link between architectural heritage and industrial memory.
