Origin and history

The 18th century House, located in Lesmont in the Great East, is an emblematic monument of the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building, whose facades and roofs have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1954, reflects the civil architecture of this period. Its registration reflects its heritage significance, although details of its history and occupants remain poorly documented in available sources.

Lesmont, located in the Aube (Department 10), was at that time a commune marked by a social organization typical of the rural villages of Champagne-Ardenne. Bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often played a central role in local life, sheltering influential families or serving as a gathering place. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and urban evolution of the region under the Old Regime.

The location of the house at 1 Patton Avenue is approximate, with an accuracy considered "passible" (level 5/10). Owned by an association, its current use (visits, rentals, guest rooms) is not specified in the sources. The protection decree of 1954, however, emphasizes its architectural interest, characteristic of the civil buildings of the late eighteenth century in Champagne.
