Origin and history

The building at 30 rue des Tiercelins in Nancy is a building representative of 18th century civil architecture. Ranked a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its facade and roof on street, as well as by its staircase on courtyard, protected by ministerial decree since 1946. These elements illustrate the know-how of the local artisans of the time, in a city at the time marked by cultural and artistic influence under the influence of the Dukes of Lorraine.

The location of this building, in the historic centre of Nancy, reflects the growing urbanization of the city in the Enlightenment century. At that time, Nancy was an economic and intellectual crossroads in Lorraine, attracting artisans, merchants and aristocrats. The buildings of that time often served as bourgeois residences or places of commerce, participating in the social and architectural dynamics of the city. Their preservation today bears witness to this rich urban heritage, characteristic of the Great East.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight the heritage importance of this building. Its exact address, confirmed by the archives (Insee code 54395 for Meurthe-et-Moselle), and its legal protection make it an example studied of the architectural heritage of Benin. The accuracy of its location, assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), invites further research to refine the knowledge of its specific history.
