Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building at 19 rue Saint-Laurent in Pont-à-Mousson is a monument whose heritage value has been recognized by a classification as Historic Monuments. Only its façade was officially protected by ministerial decree dated 6 July 1921. This classification reflects the architectural or historical significance of this particular element, although the available sources do not specify the exact criteria for this decision.

The location of the building, in the city centre of Pont-à-Mousson en Meurthe-et-Moselle, is part of an urban fabric marked by the industrial and artisanal history of Lorraine. The city, close to Nancy, experienced significant development in the 19th and 20th centuries, during which time many civilian buildings were built or renovated. The buildings of this era often reflect the architectural styles in vogue, as well as local materials such as the Jaumont stone, typical of the region.

Practical information on public access is not detailed in the sources consulted. It is not specified whether the building is open for visit, used as a place of residence, or used for commercial or institutional use. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, with an address confirmed by both administrative and GPS coordinates.

The 1921 classification was part of a period when the protection of French heritage intensified, particularly after the First World War. This measure aims at preserving the remarkable elements of the building, often threatened by urban transformation or conflict. For Pont-à-Mousson, as for other cities in eastern France, this period also corresponds to a phase of reconstruction and valorisation of the local heritage, after the destructions linked to the war.

No information is available on the specific history of this building prior to its classification, nor on its potential owners or famous occupants. Sources are limited to administrative data and a summary description, with no specific anecdotes or architectural details. The Creative Commons license associated with the photo, however, suggests a contemporary interest in its documentation and dissemination to the public.
