Origin and history

The house at 4 rue Saint-Gengoult in Toul is a 18th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, although precise stylistic details are not described in available sources. Its inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 9 February 1939 specifically concerns the facade on street and its cover, highlighting their heritage value.

Toul, a city in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle in the Grand Est region, was in modern times a strategic and religious crossroads. Bourgeois or artisanal houses, like this one, often reflected local prosperity linked to trade, crafts or ecclesiastical institutions. This type of building, preserved despite urban transformations, bears witness to the civil architectural heritage of Lorraine under the Ancien Régime.

The sources mention an approximate location, with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), and an address confirmed by the Merimée database. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or occupants. The protection of 1939 is part of a desire to preserve the Lorraine built heritage, characteristic of the cultural policies of the inter-war period in France.
