Origin and history

The building at 30 Thiers Street in Epinal is an emblematic achievement of Art Nouveau architecture in the Greater East region. Built in the early 20th century, more precisely in 1906, it was commissioned by industrialist Kaeppelin and designed by spinalian architect Louis Mougenot. This building is distinguished by its adorned facades and stained glass windows, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, as well as careful interior elements such as the staircase and its glass doors.

The building was partially protected by an order of 9 November 1984 classifying its facades, roofs, the gate, the staircase with its cage, as well as certain chimneys and glass doors. These protections highlight the heritage importance of this monument, both for its exterior architecture and for its interior details. The exact address, 30bis Rue Thiers, and its Insee code (88160) clearly place it in the city of Epinal, department of Vosges.

Although the information on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is not specified, its status as a Historical Monument and its architectural style make it a valuable testimony to local industrial and artistic history at the beginning of the twentieth century. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its inscription to the heritage and its historical and aesthetic interest.
