Origin and history

The house in Epinal, in the Vosges department, is a listed monument whose facade was inscribed by ministerial decree in 1926, with a correction in 1928. This building, located in 20 Place des Vosges, illustrates the city's civil architecture, although the precise details of its history and construction remain little documented in the available sources. In the early 20th century, Épinal, then in Lorraine, was a city marked by its industrial and artisanal heritage, particularly linked to the Vosges.

Bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often played a central role in local social and economic life. Their preservation reflects the importance attached to the heritage built after the First World War, when the protection of historical monuments intensified in France.
