Heritage classified

The façade on the dock (with its return of three spans) , the corresponding roof and the wrought iron ramp of the large staircase : inscription by decree of 15 September 1954

Origin and history

The building located in Tolozan Square in Lyon is an emblematic building of the 4th quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with a facade on dock and a wrought iron ramp, elements protected by a decree of inscription in 1954. This building illustrates the urban heritage of Lyon at the end of the Ancien Régime, marked by a sober and elegant style.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building bears witness to Lyon's architectural boom on the eve of the French Revolution. Its location on Tolozan Square, in the 1st district, reflects the importance of this district in the development of the city. Legal protections, including the facade and staircase ramp, highlight the heritage value of its ornamental and structural details.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address is 19 Tolozan, although GPS coordinates suggest a location close to 19 bis. The accuracy of this location is estimated as fair (note of 5/10), which may indicate adjustments necessary for an accurate site identification.
