Origin and history

The building located at 12 Place Bellecour and 106 rue Président-Édouard-Herriot in Lyon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its protection specifically concerns facades and roofs overlooking the square and the street, according to a decree dated 7 March 1941. This building, although little documented in the available sources, embodies part of the Lyon urban heritage of the early twentieth century or earlier, unspecified period.

The buildings of Place Bellecour, the historic heart of Lyon, often reflect the architectural and social evolution of the city. At the time of its construction, this type of building could serve as a bourgeois residence, a trade or a place of representation, in a central and lively neighbourhood. The protection of its external elements in 1941 underscores its heritage interest, although the accessible archives do not detail its architect or its detailed history.
