Origin and history

The building at 30 rue Gouvion-Saint-Cyr in Toul (Meurthe-et-Moselle) is an architectural testimony of the early 20th century in the Great East. Its inscription in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 31 October 1941 specifically concerns its facade and its cover on street, elements considered representative of the local urban heritage. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), although available sources indicate a slight discrepancy between the official address and GPS coordinates (9 Gouvion St-Cyr Street).

This building is part of a historical context where Toul, a fortified town near Nancy, experienced marked urban development at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings of this period often reflect the evolution of architectural styles, combining classical influences and technical innovations. Their preservation, like that of this building, illustrates the desire to preserve the ordinary built heritage, witness to the daily life and social transformations of industrial Lorraine.

No information is available on the original owners, architects or specific uses of the building prior to its protection.
