Origin and history

The building located at 69 Rue Rinaldi in Albi is a three-storey brick building (ground floor and two floors), whose street façade has irregular openings made at different times. The floors are pierced with sill windows, characteristic of certain architectural periods. This building illustrates the evolution of construction techniques and housing needs in the historic centre of Albi, although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the building has been granted special protection for its facades and roofs since a decree of 10 April 1974. This inscription bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its brick architecture, an emblematic material of the region. The location of the building, in a central street of Albi, suggests its integration into the medieval or modern urban fabric, although the archives do not allow to date precisely its construction or successive transformations.

The accuracy of the location is assessed as satisfactory (note 7/10), and the address confirmed by the Merimée base corresponds to 69 rue Rinaldi, in the Tarn department (81). The Insee code of the municipality (81004) and its attachment to the Occitanie (formerly Midi-Pyrénées) place this building in a regional context marked by a strong architectural identity, particularly linked to the use of brick. No information is available about its current use (visit, rental, etc.) or its potential historic owners.
