Origin and history

The house at 32 Birris Street (formerly 17 and 140) in Westhoffen, Lower Rhine, is a historic monument dating back to 1931. Only the part of the entrance gate was protected by ministerial decree, reflecting a localized architectural or heritage interest. The exact address has evolved over time, perhaps reflecting urban changes or cadastral reorganizations.

Westhoffen, the Alsatian commune of the Greater East, is part of a historical context marked by Germanic and French influences. The traditional houses in this region, often constructed of wood or stone, reflect local craftsmanship and the needs of a rural or semi-urban population. This type of building, even partially classified, illustrates the vernacular heritage and the evolution of construction techniques in Alsace at the turn of the 20th century.
